Did you know you can get $250 for installing a rain garden on your property? Our rain garden rebate program still has spots open in some participating communities!

The goal of this program is to reduce the volume of water being sent to our storm sewers (and ultimately our waterways) by redirecting it to a rain garden, where water infiltrates back into the ground while plants filter out pollutants!

For more information on the program and participating communities, or to apply, visit: https://www.communitybackyards.org/rain-garden-rebates
