Rain Gardens and Much More

With a Rain Garden you intercept run-off, decrease erosion, reduce pollutant transport, irrigate the plants in it and it acts as a mini-filtration system as it sends the rainwater back down into the aquifer.

Your garden will be beautiful and colorful attracting birds, bees, butterflies and beneficial insects as well. Your city water department will appreciate you for reducing the size of your water-guzzling lawn and for keeping as much rainwater on your own property as possible, rather than adding to the storm drain system.

Facilitated by the volunteer, community educators from the WSU Master Gardener Program.
