The Community Growing Fund is an £80,000 grant scheme to help people grow and learn about food.
Community groups, public bodies and third sector organisations can apply for a grant of up to £3,000 to support existing or set up new 'grow your own' projects.
The scheme is part of our vision for a Good Food Nation (https://www.gov.scot/policies/food-and-drink/good-food-nation/) and aims to help increase understanding of where our food comes from, and support healthy eating and exercise.
You can apply for a grant now. The deadline for applications is 5pm on Sunday, 31 March.
You should find out if you're going to get funding during the week beginning 6 May 2019.
All projects must be completed by 31 March 2020.
More information is available here (https://www.gov.scot/publications/community-growing-fund-2019-2020/). Just beware the deadline for applications is the end of March(!)
