2026 Music Residency (Discontinued)

Urban Agriculture Resilience Program - 2026 Capstone Cohort is a grant from the United States Botanic Garden and American Public Gardens Association that funds established public gardens seeking to sustain and institutionalize their urban agriculture and food-growing programs. Awards of $55,000 per participant support a small cohort of five public gardens with programming that combines food growing and education, helping them achieve long-term organizational resilience. Since 2020, the program has invested $2.5 million across 131 projects in 34 states and D.C., collectively growing over 720,000 pounds of produce and providing 49,000 hours of urban agriculture training. Eligible applicants are U.S. public gardens with existing urban agriculture programs combining food growing and educational components who are ready to institutionalize their work.
