Rain gardens help reduce water pollution by collecting rain mainly from roofs, driveways, or other hard surfaces, and absorbing the water into the ground naturally. They are typically planted with wildflowers or native plants that have deep roots, which help to soak up more water. They can be placed near downspouts on homes (although away from building foundations and sewer laterals), and offer many benefits.
We love plants at the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, but we’re not a plant nursery! This native plant sale offers affordable plants that help keep excess rain out of our sewer system and protect Lake Michigan.
Visit the Fresh Coast website for more details about raingardens including videos and other resources to help plan your rain garden.
