Use the Cold to Plan a Rain Garden (From MMSD)
Oh how we want spring to come! Now is actually a good time to plan for a rain garden and help the environment. Metro Milwaukee Sewage District (MMSD) has a special 50% off Rain Garden Plant Sales going on right now.
Rain gardens soak up water from your roof, driveway, sidewalk, yard or sump pump discharge. Slightly different from your typical flower garden, rain gardens have wild flowers, tall grasses and deep-rooted native vegetation that help the ground soak up more water.
Residents within our service area are able to purchase native rain garden plants for up to 50% off retail prices. They order the plants sometime between now and March 17, 2014, submit payment and then pick-up their plants at MMSD’s headquarters building (260 W. Seeboth Street, MKE) on May 17 between 9 and 12.
