As we look at the coming season in our gardens and expanding our native plantings, the opportunity to utilize water from our downspouts becomes apparent.  The water can nourish our gardens in drought times and assist in managing the excess water that would be  our communal storm water system can't handle during bigger storm events.  In both instances, Nature’s free-ecosystem services can help our greater community and our pollinators, butterflies and birds at the same time. The plants have evolved in this region to adapt to just such conditions.
