Culpepper Garden, the Ballston affordable-living apartment complex for seniors, has been awarded a $1,000 grant by Keep Virginia Beautiful as part of its 14th annual Green Grants program.
Funding will be used to create a bird-watching native garden on the 5-acre campus.
Every year, government, non-profit, civic and service organizations in Virginia are invited to apply for grants ranging from $500 to $1,000 that will help address an environmental concern in their community.
“Green Grants support a variety of projects that are developed and implemented at the local level, in response to each community’s needs and priorities,” said Cristi Lawton, Keep Virginia Beautiful’s executive director.
Since 2011, Keep Virginia Beautiful has provided $307,000 for 415 programs and projects throughout the state. For information on the organization, see the Website at www.keepvirginiabeautiful.org.
