Budding junior gardeners could get a funding boost in future, thanks to a new small grants scheme for schools and preschools from Matakana Community Garden. The group has been given some money by an anonymous benefactor who wants to encourage young people to grow their own healthy food. Matakana Community Garden’s Trish Allen says they can give small amounts of cash to schools or preschools for gardening projects in Matakana, Leigh, Snells Beach or Warkworth. “If they have got a garden going, they possibly might need some money for plants. They might need to put in a feijoa tree or some other small productive plants, for example,” she says.
