Stormwater Garden: Conservation Landscapes
Conservation landscapes replace areas of lawn, invasive plants, or erosion with native plants and improved soil. They are simplified rain gardens that slow down and soak up stormwater runoff. They provide valuable habitat for pollinators.
The lawn on this resident’s property was recently replaced with beautiful long-rooted native plants to better absorb stormwater thanks to the RainScapes Rebates Program.
