Peter and Shelby’s rain garden

Several front yard rain gardens and rain barrels have been popping up in the East Ballard neighborhood this past year thanks to RainWise rebates offered by Seattle Public Utilities and King County. East Ballard neighbors, Peter and Shelby took advantage of these rebates and hired John Barker with Forrest Gardens Construction to design and install a beautiful rain garden in their yard. Peter will be at a RainWise event at the Phinney Neighborhood Center event next Wednesday evening to share his experience with the program. If you’ve been on the fence about taking the plunge, this will be a great opportunity to learn more about the program and learn from a neighbor what it’s all about!
