We are pleased to announce: Rain Garden Network is now part of citizensolution.co 🌎!
We are very excited to be part of this new and enterprising venture.
Join us by visiting, contributing and signing up!
Since 2003, Rain Garden Network has worked with homeowners, environmental organizations, and municipalities by giving presentations and demonstrating the many benefits of this simple, proven, and inexpensive solution to local stormwater issues.
Today, we have moved our efforts online but we still believe that if homeowners and property owners are given the information, tools, and perhaps funding then local stormwater issues can be reduced and even eliminated.
Our simple ten-step method requires only planning and a limited effort and cost.
