The Clean Water Gardens program was developed to help residents improve water quality and wildlife habitat in their landscapes. The program covers several subjects, each described in detail in a colorful guide.

Residents who participate in the program by planting a naturescape or installing a rain garden receive a recognition package that includes a metal "Clean Water Garden" sign with a 24" stake, a native plant, two pairs of gardening gloves, and a recycled glass sun-catcher.

The guides are available at Springfield City Hall or at local nurseries. If you would like additional information, or to have the guides mailed to you, please call 541-726-3694.
