A Summer Landscaping Project

You can make an important contribution to reduce the amount of storm water and pollutants coming from your property by incorporating rain gardens into your yard.

·         Can be shaped and sized to fit your yard.

·         Are constructed with soil mixes that allow water to soak in rapidly and support healthy plant growth.

·         Can be landscaped with a variety of plants to fit the surroundings.

 

Here's a detailed handbook prepared by WSU on how to beautify your yard, conserve water, and help protect our streams and estuaries from pollution.
