Interested in starting a rain garden? Start with a Black-eyed Susan!

Black-eyed Susan is a biennial or short-lived perennial that has a long flowering time from early through mid-summer. They attract birds, bees, and butterflies, and thrive in full to part sun.

Black-eyed Susans and other native plants help soak up stormwater with their dense roots, helping create safer, cleaner waterways.

Check out our Rain Garden Plant Guide linked in the comments for more gardening ideas.

If you smell something, say something. Sewers can be stinky, especially in hot, dry weather. We can investigate the issue and send a crew out to flush the sewer line or use deodorizers.

Report odors by calling 502-540-6000 or visiting our odor page (check comments for link).

The Jim King Memorial Rain Garden in Germantown was recently upgraded and replanted. It's a patch of native plants and flowers that add beauty and help improve water quality. Rain gardens help absorb stormwater, reducing the volume of polluted water entering our sewer system and waterways.
