MMSD's annual online rain garden plant sale is now open, with plant pickup on June 7th. There are limited quantities of plants, so order early.  

Keeping up any garden, including low-maintenance rain gardens requires some effort. Weeds move in, plants outgrow their space and some desirable plants die. Add to this the challenge of maintaining the area around the garden and keeping the water flowing from the roof, walks, and lawn to the garden. Melinda Myers will share ways to manage these challenges to help you create an attractive garden that helps manage the water that falls in your yard.

This is your chance to tour the Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility that is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the City of Milwaukee. This is where Milorganite® - a fertilizer trusted by experts since 1926- is produced. The facility is on the National Register of Historic Places, designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers, owned and governed by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, and operated and maintained by Veolia Water Milwaukee.
