Hey all,  I put together an order for my school garden and was then informed that the grant I was ordering from had only been partially funded.  I'm looking for another $400 to make up the difference in all the supplies we need. 
Do you have any good leads on sources of funding for school gardens? 
What I was looking to buy (all from gardeners.com) was a few soil scoops, a couple raised bed kits (3x 6), some swivel and flexi connectors for building bamboo trellises, a couple willow trellises, tomato cages, and biodegradable netting for the trellises. 
Would love any advice you have to offer.
thanks,

"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
