Want to stop having standing water in your yard? Want to reduce polluted runoff and lower the risk for local flooding? Want to create bird and butterfly habitat? These are just some of the potential benefits of building a rain garden on your property! Learn how to build a rain garden that helps save our water, uses native plants, and makes your property even more attractive to homebuyers and wildlife.

There are lots of resources to help you to create your rain garden. We will give away 50 rain garden seed kits from Blue Stem Natives. Enter to Win a Rain Garden Seed Kit here. (The seeds must go through winter stratification. If you can’t create your rain garden this year, you can store the seeds in the refrigerator until planting time next fall.)

Winners will be randomly selected on Monday, October 2, 2023.

WaterSmart is a nonprofit partnership between the NSRWA and 12 towns on the South Shore: Cohasset, Duxbury, Hanover, Hingham, Hull, Kingston, Marshfield, Norwell, Pembroke, Rockland, Scituate and Weymouth. Our programs are based on the belief that education is key. Since its creation, WaterSmart has educated thousands of local school-age children, adults, and businesses on water conservation, stormwater pollution, where their water comes from, and how to care for it.
