BUILD HEALTHIER WATERWAYS BY BUILDING A RAINGARDEN.A raingarden resembles a regular garden except it receives stormwater from hard surfaces

such as roofs and paved areas. Layers of sandy soil and plants help filter pollutants that build

up on these surfaces to prevent them from being washed into our rivers and creeks. Pop in

to our stand over at P16 and discover

how building a raingarden at your

home can help your local waterways.
