deadline for native garden grant applications

Start your native garden—with a little seed money and support

Thinking about creating a native plant garden? Wild Ones HGCNY is offering Central NY homeowners up to $200 in “seed money” to help bring their garden plans to life - using plants and seeds from our Native Plant Shopping Guide.

Along with funding, each grant applicant can be paired with volunteer mentors - someone experienced in native gardening who can share advice and encouragement from planning through planting.

Eligibility: Homeowners in Onondaga, Cayuga, Cortland, Oswego, or Tompkins counties.

Deadline: Applications are due by March 31, 2026.

Note: A limited number of grants are available.

Let’s grow something beautiful together.
