Update, 2/21/2014:

The Florida School Garden Competition has a long history of recognizing schools for the great work they are doing integrating gardens and classroom education. 

We are in the process of restructuring the contest and hopefully growing it even bigger.  As a result, we will not be hosting the contest for the 2013/2014 school year.  Please check back later in 2014 for updates about the 2014/2015 school year. 

Until then, please use the resources on this site to help with your gardening activities.  Your local county Extension office can also provide you with information to help your garden thrive.  Keep up all the great work you do and good luck in your gardens.
