Join us for a presentation about the updated Blue Thumb Plant Finder. The Finder is for stormwater practitioners so they can describe a site that needs planting, including adverse site conditions and special parameters, and be given a detailed list of plant species most likely to succeed on the site.
Full event details can be found on the Water Resources Center webpage.
