1. A Garden Protecting Rock Creek Marker
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.
