The pre-order online Rain Garden plant sale is open, with in-person pickup 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. 

Join us on Saturday, March 21st, from 10 AM – 1 PM for a FREE tour of the Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility on Lake Michigan's shores. Learn how we clean wastewater, make Milorganite® fertilizer, and how you can help protect our water and manage water on your property.

Registration is required, and spots are limited.
