The purpose of the scheme:
Wexford County Council may pay Planting Grants up to a maximum of €300 to voluntary groups for planting projects in public areas. The grant is to help cover the cost of trees, shrubs, topsoil and landscaping materials required for the project.
There is no longer a requirement to submit receipts / proof of purchase for items covered under the planting grant scheme. You must now select from a list of approved garden centres/garden providers when submitting your application form.
Please note that the planting grant can only be redeemed at your selected garden centre/garden provider. Prior to selection, please ensure that the provider carries the garden supplies required for your project.
All planting undertaken must be sustainable planting and must include pollinator friendly planting. No annuals / bedding plants are covered under this scheme.
