Blue Thumb: Planting for Clean Water

Blue Thumb: Planting for Clean Water–If you want to do your part to protect water right in your own yard we can help. We aim to make it easy for residents to plan, purchase and plant beautiful native gardens, raingardens and shorelines. These cost-effective plantings require little watering and minimal care after established. They also invite birds and butterflies to your yard.
