Help Our Garden Grow

Looking for a hands-on way to support Stormwater Studios? Join our native plant and pollinator garden team. Working alongside garden designer Karen Murphy Rhu, volunteers help plant, water, weed, and maintain the garden while learning about native species and the essential role they play in sustaining pollinators and local ecosystems.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply eager to learn, your efforts help create a thriving habitat that benefits both the environment and our community.
