"These are two of a total of 4 rain barrels that are placed around the house... We also have an overflow hose that seems to handle excess water." - Anne P.

Join the hundreds of neighbors who have installed rain barrels to save water and protect our watersheds from run-off. We offer various colors and accouterments for your rain barrel needs. 

Thank you to all the Spring Tree & Shrub Sale customers, volunteers, & partners that supported this event!

We continue to evolve our conservation resource distributions to meet the needs of Washtenaw residents and align our shared missions with other organizations. This year was exemplary of this growth through partnerships, including 42,525 trees & shrubs sold and 50,000 Hazelnut seedlings given away!
