Rain Garden
An ideal first step into the world of native planting, rain gardens are simple to build, an excellent way to control and conserve rainwater runoff, and can fit most any yard. Wetland perennials are hardy, low-maintenance, not to mention beautiful. They’re also attractive to varieties of birds and butterflies, all of which love to feast on mosquitoes.

Pollinator Meadow
Ideal habitat for pollinating bees and birds
Butterfly Garden
Help preserve nature’s winged helpers. Build a garden to support bird, butterfly and bee species, from egg to adult. Perennials will provide beauty for decades. The right mix of wildflowers, grasses and location can attract hummingbirds, bluebirds, chickadees, cardinals, and all kinds of migrating songbirds. Other visitors may include yellow swallowtails, black swallowtails, red admirals, cabbage whites, mourning cloaks and monarchs.
