SMRG is a fun, dynamic water quality initiative. Registration is easy and only takes a few minutes. Let’s make a difference, garden by garden, drop by drop.

Why Build a Rain Garden?

Every rain garden is a step towards better water quality, restoring the function and balance of nature. So what is a rain garden? A rain garden is a shallow, landscaped depression that temporarily holds and filters rainwater rather than sending it directly into traditional storm water culverts and nearby streams. When landscaped with native plants it also helps restore the ecosystem. It’s landscaping – with a purpose.
