Grants for school garden projects, green roofs and green walls

If you're looking to escape the cold and/or snowy regions of North America, February 17-26, 2012 head down to Guatemala for the Mesoamerican Permaculture Design Course. The bilingual course is a little cheaper than most others. Lucky for you!

-In what's probably the first of it's kind, a public/private partnership at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point will allow students to enroll in an online aquaponics course this winter/spring. Lucky them! Maybe if you pester them, they will let you in?

-There's money, both big and small, available for living architecture projects. The TKF Foundation and others have created Open Spaces Sacred Places, designed to "increase a sense of community and contribute to a deepening of human connections". You have until December 15, 2011 to get your team and idea together.
Until December 31, 2011 those in the Canada, the US and UK can apply for the School Garden Grant Program and receive up to $2,000 to support school garden projects.

-The Girl Scouts now have a locavore badge!
