Rain Garden at Shore Park in Worcester, MA

Why are rain gardens important?

Rain gardens turn runoff into resource. These small, planted dips capture rain right where it falls - filtering out pollutants, recharging groundwater, and easing pressure on storm drains - all while adding vibrant, pollinator-friendly beauty to the landscape.

Low-maintenance. High-impact. A simple garden doing big work for cleaner water and healthier communities.
