SWT Design Headquarters Demonstration Garden Includes Rain Garden Plants Contributed by Bohn's Farm

A Sustainable SITES Initiative Pilot Project

SWT Design practices what they promote: creating sustainable landscapes.  In 2009, Bohn's Farm appreciated the opportunity to support the educational mission of the SWT Design office landscape by contributing a variety of herbaceous perennials for the rain garden demonstration area. In addition to providing herbaceous plants for the rain garden display, Bohn's Farm assisted with providing a collection of ornamental native and introduced carex (sedge) for creating an on-going trial planting for evaluating this landscape-worthy genus.

The SWT Design office landscape has been selected as one of 150 Sustainable SITES Pilot Projects.
