GRANT OPPORTUNITY 

Oldham County Environmental Authority is offering a Rain Garden Grant Program.  The OCEA has a limited number of grants of up to $500 available to eligible residents of Oldham County to install a rain garden.  Eligible participants must be residents of Crestwood, Goshen, La Grange, Orchard Grass or River Bluff.   

What is a Rain Garden?

A rain garden is a landscaped area designed to capture and hold access rain water for a short period, allowing it to soak into the soil and recharge the groundwater.  Rain gardens help slow the flow of water from a yard during and after a storm, reducing water pollution and allowing groundwater recharge.


Applications are available now through May 31st.

 BREAKING NEWS

Since spring has finally arrived and I am bursting at the seams with beautiful KY native plants I would like to announce that for each Saturday beginning April 20th and ending May 25th you will not need to schedule an appointment for onsite sales.

Now is the time to be planting while rainfall is abundant. We have many KY perennials ready to be planted or we can dig and divide many spring perennials so you will be comfortable with indentification, propagation and site selection.
