Apply TODAY to start a Katie’s Krops Garden.
Exciting news from Katie’s Krops — we’re growing our impact in the Lowcountry! Apply TODAY to start a Katie’s Krops Garden.
With the generous support of Big Green, we are thrilled to announce the launch of TWO new youth-based Katie’s Krops Gardens right here in the Lowcountry. Each garden will be rooted in one simple but powerful mission: growing food to share with our neighbors facing food insecurity.
This opportunity is open to youth and youth-led organizations in Dorchester, Berkeley, or Charleston County who are ready to grow with intention, purpose, and heart.
What Katie’s Krops will provide:
- 10 raised garden beds
Learning Garden dimensions: Each bed measures 54” W x 19” H x 30” D. Beds may be arranged in a wavy line, or four beds can be configured to create a circle. - Irrigation supplies and soil
- Plants in the spring and seeds to get growing
- Ongoing guidance and support from the Katie’s Krops family
One thing that matters deeply to us is that Katie’s Krops never believes in “one and done.” We build relationships. We grow together. We serve together. Some of our gardens have been growing alongside us for more than a decade, and that long-term commitment is something we are incredibly proud of.
Because Katie’s Krops is a youth-based nonprofit, this opportunity is intended for youth ages eight and up and youth-led organizations who are excited about making a lasting difference. We are seeking long-term partnerships, and strong communication is essential to success.
Important details to know:
- Garden supplies (excluding plants) will be distributed in late January
- Gardens must be started for the Spring 2026 growing season, no later than April 15
- Gardens must provide meaningful opportunities for youth to grow and serve
- Reporting through our private grower website is mandatory, including photos and harvest totals
- Gardens must be maintained throughout the summer, which is especially important for school-based applicants
- An interview and/or site visit may be conducted for finalists selected for this opportunity
If this opportunity speaks to you, we would love for you to apply and grow positive change with us.
Applications are open now and close January 15th at midnight
