Rain Garden Plant Kits Now Available from BCCD

Keep our water cleaner by planting a rain garden on your property.

Rain gardens keep stormwater and the pollutants they carry out of streams and creeks. By allowing rain to slowly infiltrate the ground on your property, soil can filter out many pollutants and you can help improve our water quality.
