PLANTS
Landscaping with native plants is one way we can
address the stormwater management issues in our community. The link below provides easily accessible information on native plants, including guidance on what type of plants you might want to use depending on your site and preferences. We hope you find this helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to contact John Wakeman-Linn (jwakemanlinn@verizon.net; 202-560-0996)
