Seattle Rain Garden Program

Are you aware that Seattle is making a real push to increase the number of rain gardens in Seattle and surrounding communities?  This is not just for government properties, but include residential as well.Rain gardens are areas of rock and plantings that are designed to help slow the flow of water.  They allow water run-off from surfaces like roofs and driveways time to penetrate the earth and thereby filter through the soil.Since we are all about protecting the ecology through our landscaping efforts, we are really excited about this Seattle RainWise program.
