Native Plant Cost-Share

This program is open from 3/1/2025 to 5/1/2025

The Louisville Metro Weeds Ordinance allows residents to maintain “managed natural landscapes” in order to develop biodiversity throughout the city and normalize a more natural aesthetic in our green spaces.

To support native landscaping, the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District is offering a cost-share reimbursement program to assist with the purchase of seed and plants for new or existing Native Plant Gardens.

Individuals, schools, non-profits/organizations, community spaces, and businesses in Jefferson County are encouraged to apply!

The District will reimburse 80% of the total project cost with a cap of $100.

The deadline to apply for reimbursement is 5/1/25.

Reimbursements will be approved as they are received until funding is exhausted. Don’t wait!

The District reserves the right to evaluate the native plants purchased and determine if they are eligible for reimbursement. Please consult the resources below for ideas on what to buy!

If you have any questions, please reach out by phone at (502) 499-1900 or by email at soiltech@jeffcd.org
