This program will fund gardens in many places. It focuses on areas needing more green spaces. Local groups can ask for money. They can get up to $10,000 for each garden project. Facebook will also send experts to help plan the gardens.
The idea is simple. Facebook believes gardens bring people together. Gardens make neighborhoods look nicer. They also help people learn about growing food. Fresh food is good for everyone. Facebook wants to support community health.
Groups must apply for the money. They need a plan for their garden project. They must show how it helps their local area. Facebook will pick the best projects. The company wants the gardens to last a long time.
A Facebook leader spoke about the program. “We see gardens making a real difference,” they said. “People connect outside. Kids learn where food comes from. We are happy to help start more of these spaces.” Facebook hopes many communities will apply.

Facebook expects to pick the first gardens by fall. Work on these new gardens could start before winter. This program is part of Facebook’s bigger plan to help communities. They have done other local projects before. The company says it cares about where people live and work.
