Native Plant Grant Application

Basic Information
The RGC offers grants of up to $200 to residents in the 98642 zip code for the purchase of Pacific Northwest (PNW) native plants. We expect the grant money to be used to create gardens that are pollinator-friendly, drought tolerant, organically maintained, and that provide bird habitat. Applicants will receive a list of PNW plants that meet the grant requirements and can get support with plant selection if needed.
