In 2011, the Friends of Peirce Mill partnered with the National Park Service to revive the plantings and install water sustainability features at this garden. These features include two rain gardens, a pervious paver area, and a "downspout disconnect." Visit and see how homeowners can help Rock Creek or their neighborhood stream through simple changes in how rainfall is used.
