The Rain Garden


I wanted to take this picture to show how big our rain garden plants are. We planted them last year as tiny plugs, and this year they are....well, you can see these milkweed plants are just about the same size as Tom. The monarch butterflies are loving it. We got our plants from the Native Plant Nursery in Ann Arbor.
