Downspout Garden Plant Kit Sale- SOLD OUT

August 7th-11th, 2023 or while supplies last

Join us in celebrating Stormwater Week by planting a downspout garden! Downspout gardens help roofwater soak into the ground, similar to rain gardens, but without the depression. They require much less effort to install and can take up less space. Even a small (5'x5') garden can have a huge impact! These small gardens are located near the discharge of a downspout, have compost added to the soil, and are planted with native plants or grasses. Do you part to curb runoff and order a downspout garden plant kit!
