The Rowan County 4H Program would like to apply for a Blanche & Julian Robertson Foundation Grant for $40,000.00 to assist in the purchase of a 15 passenger van. The 4H program has spent over $5000.00 in rental vehicles since 2021 to transport youth to state and regional events. As the program continues to grow and teen youth participation increases, we do not see this cost going down.
The Rowan County Cooperative Extension and the Rowan County Master Gardener Volunteers would like to apply for $6000.00 grant from the Blanch and Julian Robertson Foundation to have a professional Permaculture Landscape Design drawn for the new demonstration/community gardens at West End Plaza where the new Ag Center will be. The Rowan Master Gardeners have committed $3000.00 of their fundraiser monies towards this project. A rendered design will assist Extension in applying for other grants to further complete the project "Asphalt to Gardens".
