The Rain Garden Plant Sale is Now Closed

Usually in February of each year we open our pre-order online sale with an in-person pick up 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.

If you placed an order already, expect an email with the pick-up details closer to the June 7th pick-up date.

What is a Rain Garden?

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.

What are the Benefits of Rain Gardens?

• Beautify your yard and neighborhood
• Help protect our streams and Lake Michigan from pollution by reducing stormwater runoff
• Reduce the risk of flooding and drainage problems
• Provide habitat for pollinators and birds
