Thank you for your interest in the NC Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Association (EMGVA) grant program for horticulture projects. Applications are open to local nonprofit organizations, schools (Pre-K through high school), and houses of worship for grants that connect people to horticulture through research-based education. Successful grants will empower members of New Hanover County to cultivate healthy plants, landscapes, ecosystems, and communities. All projects should have a strong educational focus.
