Tiller grant program deadline approaches
Only one week remains for community gardening groups to apply for the Keep Arkansas Beautiful Troy-Bilt Colt FT Garden Tiller grant, which will be awarded to an organization currently managing any type of community garden.
The tiller has a value of $420 and is a one-time grant for a deserving community garden. Keep Arkansas Beautiful began accepting grant applications online July 5. The grant will be awarded to one community group, garden or beautification committee that successfully illustrates the positive impact the tiller will have on their garden.
“We have already seen a great response from communities across Arkansas,” said Liz Philpott, volunteer program manager at KAB. “With just one week left to apply, we are grateful that KAB has the opportunity to help a deserving community in their beautification and community improvement efforts.”
Applications for the tiller grant close Aug. 1, and the winner will be notified by Aug .15. To apply, visit Keep Arkansas Beautiful. com and find “Tiller Grant” under the Community Resources tab.
