What is it?
Customized help to get you started adding native plants to your yard!
If we've visited your site, you know that this is an opportunity to ask questions, brainstorm possibilities, or just invite us to propose ideas for how to get started.
Whether it's adding some native plants to existing beds, converting a decorative bed to native habitat, or beginning to downsize your lawn, your interest inspires us. We love sharing what we've learned since we started, just as you're starting.

You can do it yourself or hire it done.
To begin researching rain gardens, go to our Resources page (scroll up to see the tab) and click the button for Rain and Pollinator Gardens to go to the lists and links to get you started. Also, scroll down to watch Rainwater in Your Yard: What You Should Know.
If you're looking for a landscaper who can create a native rain garden, it's in the Support section on the same page under Commercial / Landscapers.
If you have a problem with standing water, you can use this same program for reimbursement, and often many of the same plant species.
