Update: This program is FULL for the 2021 season, but you may still contact Metro Blooms to be placed on a waitlist.

The Waite Park Community Council is again sponsoring a neighborhood raingarden program in partnership with Metro Blooms Design and Build. 

Twenty raingardens will be available on a first come first serve basis. 

If you are interested in having a raingarden installed on your property, contact Jennifer Moeller at Metro Blooms at (preferred) jmoeller@metroblooms.org or 612-367-6080 with your name, address, phone number and email address if you have one. Please reference Waite Park because several neighborhoods have raingarden programs. 

The community council uses funds from the City of Minneapolis to subsidize the cost of the consultations, designs, project oversight and installation, bringing the homeowner cost down to approximately $350-$400 per property.

Metro Blooms and the Conservation Corps of Minnesota expect to install the raingardens in early August, with consultations starting in late June.
