Join us to learn more about rain gardens and how you can help protect Puget Sound from home. We’ll provide information on the benefits of rain gardens, how to find rain gardens and other forms of green infrastructure during your afternoon walks, and how you can build a rain garden while you’re stuck at home.

Rain gardens, the most common form of green infrastructure, are bowl-shaped gardens designed to capture and filter polluted stormwater runoff. Green infrastructure helps reduce toxic pollution from entering our waterways and protects our communities, salmon, and orcas. Rain gardens can be found throughout your neighborhood, even if you never realized it before.
COVD-19 has brought to light many of the inequities that exist in our society, the same inequities that climate change and pollution exploit. Everyone has the right to clean water and reducing stormwater pollution, the number one source of pollution to Puget Sound, is a step each one of us can take to provide clean water for all.
