Welcome to Wild Ones Louisville Chapter!
We promote environmentally friendly, sound landscaping to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities across the United States.
Wild Ones chapters are a space where like-minded people gather to support each other in learning about landscaping with native plants and to share with others in their communities and networks about why it’s important to reintroduce native plants into public and private gardens and how to go about doing it. Chapters are where change happens. We are excited to offer local residents the opportunity to expand their impact in the natural landscaping movement and help promote native plants!

Wild Ones Louisville: Lawns-to-Natives Reimbursement Program: Description and Instructions
Wild Ones Louisville (the Louisville Chapter of the national organization Wild Ones) is offering a cost-share reimbursement program designed for replacing lawn with Kentucky native plants in residential yards. Homeowners in Jefferson County are encouraged to apply. The goal of the program is to encourage lawn replacement in residential yards with Kentucky native plants by reducing financial barriers.
A reimbursement check will be mailed to your address once the reimbursement form, proof of payment, and photo documentation of your project are received. Photos must include a ‘before’ photo of the lawn area to be replaced, a photo of the bed in process of preparation showing dead/dying grass, and a photo of the planted bed. The minimum area of lawn that will be considered is 100 square feet. There is no maximum area, but we will only cover the costs for plants up to $200 as described below.
LAWN AREA REMOVAL CATEGORIES
Wild Ones Louisville (WOL) will reimburse 80% of total plant costs in two categories of former lawn area, as follows:
- A maximum of $100 for at least 100 square feet (sq. ft.) of lawn removed (10×10 ft or other equivalent dimensions totaling 100 sq. ft.)
- A maximum of $200 for at least a total of 200 sq. ft. of lawn removed (20 x10 ft or other equivalent dimensions totaling 200 sq. ft.) This can be two separate lawn areas totaling at least 200 sq. ft.
