GREEN REGISTRY Connect with Stores That Sell What You Need for Your Next Eco-Landscaping Project 1
WHAT IS THE GREEN REGISTRY? The Green Registry is a tool that will help Howard County residents find and navigate Howard County stores that carry the products that they need to start a do-it-yourself eco-friendly landscaping project. The products covered in this guide are related to rain garden, conservation landscaping, and rain barrel projects. Browse the table of contents below to find the best sections for you. All of the projects (e.g. rain gardens) listed in the guide may be eligible for some or all of reimbursement for the cost that you incur, so be sure to keep your receipts and in-progress photos. Check out www.cleanwaterhoward.com for more details about financial incentives. Thanks for doing your part to protect the environment with your project!
