Noah Bilz, a seventh-grade student from Colby, Wis., waters green bean plants in the greenhouse garden at Colby Middle/High School, one of the grant recipients of the Syngenta Grow More Vegetables Seed Grant Program.

Through the Grow More Vegetables Seed Grant Program, which supports the establishment of gardens by schools and organizations, Syngenta recognizes its responsibility to share resources and knowledge with local communities. After reviewing nearly 200 applications in 2013, a panel of judges has selected three garden programs from across the U.S. as inaugural grant recipients:

  • Centreville Elementary in Centreville, Va.
  • Colby High School in Colby, Wis.
  • Garfield Community Action Team in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Each group has received a garden package, including vegetable seed, a handheld video camera and a materials stipend.
