RainWise Tabling @ Washington Park Arboretum Plant Sale
Shop the plant sale and come learn about RainWise!
About the Plant Sale: Benefiting the Washington Park Arboretum, this plant sale sells trees, shrubs, and perennials at the volunteer run Harris Plant Nursery and Pat Calvert Greenhouse. Purchases from the nursery and greenhouse help fund core horticulture, environmental education, and volunteer programs at the Arboretum. Click here for more details of the event.
About RainWise: With every storm, rain carries pollutants off our roofs, driveways and other hard surfaces to local creeks, Lake Washington and Puget Sound. Rain gardens and cisterns can help control this stormwater, but we need your help! In selected areas of Seattle, the City of Seattle and King County will pay up to 100 percent of the cost of installing rain gardens and cisterns on homeowners’ properties.
Come talk to program staff to learn about how RainWise can work on your property!
We recommend that you check your eligibility for a RainWise rebate in advance at https://700milliongallons.org/rainwise/eligibility.
This event is in-person and outdoors.
