seeds from the U of M-Dearborn EnvironmentalInterpretive Center (EIC) rain garden.

These plants are naturally adapted for low-maintenance care, look great, can hold their own againstthe elements, make a great home for lots of nativeanimals, and do a fine job taking up water when it rains.Our rivers and tributaries dont flood as quickly, which isgreat for the things living in the water in more ways thanwe have space to explain here.To find out more, you canvisit the EIC at 4901 Evergreen Drive, Dearborn MI 48128free of charge to talk to the friendly staff, explore the Rain
