RAIN GARDENS
Are you tired of lawn? A rain garden is a perfect alternative – bringing color, biodiversity, and functionality to your yard. A rain garden is a depression which diverts rainwater from your roof or driveway into the ground, instead of running off into the nearest stream or Puget Sound.
Rain gardens are a great way to absorb excess water while providing native habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. Learn more about rain gardens and how your local conservation district can help you design and build your own!
