NPDES tip: Planting a rain garden with native plants
somewhere around your home helps lock rainwater in the
ground, reducing the flow of pollutants and poisons into
the drains. Using organic fertilizers and pesticides in your
garden further protects and brings health to your yard and
all the species living there.
