Check out the winners of the 2019 Rain Check Photo Contest!

Over the summer, we called on Rain Check participants to submit photos of the rain barrels, rain gardens, downspout planters, and depaving/permeable paver projects they love for a chance at some serious green-thumb goodies.

Thank you to everyone who voted and congratulations to our winners! A total of 1,228 votes were cast and it was razor close - only 9 votes separated 1st place from 3rd place.
