Applications are reviewed by a committee, ensuring equitable access to these educational resources.

The Samull Classroom Herb Garden Grant Details
Thanks to the generosity of Donald Samull, who made a planned gift to The Herb Society of America, an herb garden grant program for elementary school classes was established almost 15 years ago. These grants ensure that learning about herbs can be part of the curriculum, a resource Mr. Samull — an elementary school teacher — regularly used in his own classroom.
Elementary classrooms grades K-6 with ten students or more may apply for a grant to establish an herb garden. In addition to plants, the funds may be used for supplies such as soil, plants trays, containers, child or youth sized tools, etc. Applications are considered by a committee of HSA members in a blind review process. Fifteen grants of $500 each are awarded annually.
