Four years ago, our Department started a Plant Dane: Free Plants program so that we could provide free plants to groups trying to install rain gardens and natural areas in their community. Since then, we have distributed over 15,000 native plants to over 86 different local groups.

Many of the plants for this program are grown by volunteers that want to make an impact in their community. This workshop will train a new cohort of volunteers for this program.

If you are interested in learning more about this program or signing up for the virtual workshop, contact Susan Sandford at Sandford.susan@countyofdane.com or (608) 669-1816.
