**Growing conditions:** The Kalamazoo and Battle Creek rivers run through Calhoun County, and soils range from sandy loam to heavier ground with wet spots near the water. Low, wet areas are good places for rain gardens and moisture-loving natives like swamp milkweed, blue flag iris and sedges; drier, sunnier ground suits prairie plants.

**For businesses here:** Downtown storefronts in Battle Creek and Marshall's historic main street suit seasonal containers and window boxes, and office and industrial campuses can save on mowing by turning little-used lawn into native planting.

- Do you work in Battle Creek? — Yes. Battle Creek and Marshall are part of our regular service area.
- Can you help with a wet spot in my yard? — Often a wet spot is the right place for a rain garden: a shallow, planted basin with deep-rooted natives that soak the water in.
- Do you build patios, walls or walkways? — No. Everything we do is plants: design, soil, planting, mulch and care. If your project needs hardscape, we can plan the planting around it and work alongside your contractor.
