Minnesota Environment
New “Plants for Stormwater Design” is helpful field guide for landscape designers


Plants for Stormwater Design Book CoverHow do you achieve beauty, functionality and clean water through landscape design? “Plants for Stormwater Design” is a new publication funded by the EPA and MPCA that offers specific, detailed suggestions on selecting appropriate species for all design environments while protecting water-quality and mitigating storm-water runoff. Authors Daniel Shaw, ecologist/landscape designer with Great River Greening, and Rusty Schmidt, a natural resource and ecology consultant with URS, provide more than 300 examples of plants that work for the environment and how to locate, install and maintain them.

Although copies of the guide are no longer available, an electronic version of it is.
