RESOURCES TO BUILD YOUR OWN

If you want to build your own rain garden or bioswale, Oregon Sea Grant has just published a great, free, how-to guide. Click this link for a pdf version: The Oregon Rain Garden Guide.

If you want to beautify your yard or business with a raingarden or bioswale, and don't want to do it yourself, you can hire Liza Ehle of By the Sea Gardens. Liza has special expertise in both bioswales and the kinds of plants that can work in coastal gardens. She and her crew bring a can-do attitude to any project. (She typically has a waiting list so plan ahead.)

Check out our native plant list for plants that will work locally.
