Native Plant Cost-Share
In March 2022, Louisville Metro Council passed a Revised Weeds Ordinance that allows residents to maintain “managed natural landscapes”. This revision to the existing land code is a promising step forward in developing biodiversity throughout the city and normalizing a more natural aesthetic in our green spaces.
To support the Revised Weeds Ordinance, we have created a cost-share program to help amplify greenscapes in Louisville by reimbursing up to 80% (max $100) of the costs associated to create native gardens.
Individuals, community centers, community gardens, schools, non-profits, and businesses are all eligible. Both novice and seasoned gardeners are encouraged to apply. Applicant/organization must be located in Jefferson County.
Application window closed on March 29, 2024.
