Pollinator Patch can help: It picks Kitsap Peninsula natives suited to a rain garden, designs an HOA-friendly layout, and assembles the plant list and photo packet for your Kitsap Conservation District application.
Avoid these mistakes
- Don't build before you contact the Kitsap Conservation District. Technical assistance and scoping come first.
- Don't assume eligibility inside city limits. The cost share serves unincorporated Kitsap County (city homeowners can use the WSU mentor program).
- Don't skip the native plants. Rain gardens and native plantings are the point of the cost share.
