Look at the eligibility, nobody with a typical backyard garden is eligible.
To be eligible, gardens:
Benefit the community by providing food, green space, wildlife habitat, education space.
Are a collaborative effort. This can include groups working together with USDA agencies, food banks, after school programs, Girl Scouts, Master Gardeners, conservation districts, etc.
Incorporate conservation management practices, such as using native plant species, rain barrels, integrated pest management, xeriscaping.
Educate the public about sustainable gardening practices and the importance of local, diverse, and resilient food systems providing healthy food for the community.
small-scale agriculture projects in rural, suburban and urban areas can be recognized as a “People’s Garden”
definition of small-scale agriculture projects:
what is small-scale farming? Small-scale farming describes a farming method using very little land (usually around 1-10 acres) and often using very little to no expensive technologies. Small-scale farming is closely tied with more sustainable agricultural methods including Hobby, organic, biodynamic and permacultural (etc.) farms.
This is just nonsense.
