RAIN GARDENS
Rain gardens allow water to soak slowly into the ground rather than running into storm drains, preventing pollutants from reaching nearby streams and lakes. They are also a beautiful way to help prevent erosion and shoreline damage.
BIRD & BUTTERFLY GARDENS
Natural flower gardens attract and are a sanctuary for songbirds, hummingbirds, butterflies and other beneficial insects. Providing habitat for pollinators is a special function of these gardens.
SCENTED GARDENS
Daffodils, nicotiana, roses, lily of the valley, scented stocks or honeysuckle growing by an open window on summer afternoons and evenings can be a great source of solace and delight.
