In Dane, only the rain goes down the drain.

Why only the rain? Umbrellas - vertical What can I do?
Plant Dane! Cost-Share Program

The Plant Dane! Cost-Share Program is open to schools, non-profit organizations (homeowner, lake or neighborhood associations, faith centers, clubs, etc.), municipalities and individual residents in Dane County, Wisconsin. Businesses are not eligible.

Applicants will receive an order form for plants and/or seeds (application confirmation and order form sent via email), which requires payment at the time of order placement. For choice of plants, order forms with payment are due at the February workshop. Orders/payments received after the workshop will be filled on a first-come, first-served, as available basis. Orders received after the last working day in May cannot be filled. Plants are delivered in June. Preference will be given to orders/payments received at the workshop in February.

Direct questions to Marcia Hartwig, Madison Area Municipal Storm Water Partnership Education Coordinator at (608) 224-3746 or email hartwig@co.dane.wi.us.

The Plant Dane! Cost-Share Program is made possible through a gift from the Graham-Martin Foundation, Inc., and is coordinated by the Madison Area Municipal Storm Water Partnership and Dane County Land and Water Resources Department. The Graham-Martin Foundation, Inc., is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to the preservation and restoration of natural ecosystems and the promotion of environmental education.

Gift certificates also available.
