Incentive Program

The City of Fort Wayne has developed a program to encourage home owners to install and maintain rain gardens on their properties.  A direct cash payment and a plant matching program ara available.  Incentives are only available to residential properties inside the City of Fort Wayne.

There are four general requirements for the incentive program.  Home owners must:

  1. Complete an Application and submit it to the City
  2. Attend a free instructional workshop-- click here for dates.  Following the workshops, technical assistance will be provided by City staff members and the Allen County Master Gardeners if requested.
  3. Sign an Agreement to install and maintain a rain garden -- these will be available at the workshops and may be signed then.  Plant match certificates will be given at the workshop.  Cash payments will be mailed following the workshops.
  4. Register the garden

Several workshops are scheduled in April and May of 2010.  Register by calling (260)-427-1381.
