The pre-order online Rain Garden plant sale is open, with in-person pickup in June. We offer dozens of hardy native wildflowers and grasses to take the guesswork out of what to buy for a beautiful rain garden. Rain gardens can help reduce the risk of sewer overflows and water pollution by naturally absorbing stormwater runoff from hard surfaces into the ground.
Join us on Saturday, March 21st, from 10 AM – 1 PM for a FREE tour of the Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility on Lake Michigan's shores. Learn how we clean wastewater, make Milorganite® fertilizer, and how you can help protect our water and manage water on your property.
Registration is required, and spots are limited.
Put the water that falls in your yard to work supporting the plants in your landscape while helping to reduce the risk of sewer backups, basement flooding and sewer overflows
