Seeds of Knowledge Initial Survey

This survey is required for all Seeds of Knowledge grant recipients. The deadline to complete this survey is September 8, 2026.

Thank you for your participation in the 2026 Seeds of Knowledge Demonstration Garden Grant program. We are looking forward to hearing about your experience of planting a Florida native wildflower garden and distributing native seed packets.

Remember, the goals of the Seeds of Knowledge Demonstration Garden Grant are to:

  • Establish or enhance a native demonstration planting at a public library.
  • Provide educational programming relevant to the planting and its purpose.
  • Increase the awareness and knowledge of native wildflowers, grasses and flowering shrubs and vines among visitors by demonstrating the benefits and beauty of Florida native plants in cultivated landscapes.
  • Establish and maintain a seed library on site with Florida native ecotype seeds and make them available for distribution to the public.

Your feedback is important to us and will help us improve our program. Please respond to all questions below and include information about your successes and challenges.

This survey serves as your initial report and fulfills the first reporting requirement of the grant. You will receive a final survey in January 2027. Completion of the final survey will fulfill all remaining grant reporting requirements. Participation in any additional follow-up surveys to remain eligible for future seed packet distributions is voluntary.

Upload 3 photos of your garden at the end of this survey or email them to MPhillips@FlaWildflowers.org. Be sure to include your library name in your email.

If you have questions about this survey, please contact Program Coordinator Molly Phillips at MPhillips@FlaWildflowers.org or (850) 270-7715.
