Thank you for making our 2025 Walk-Up Sale Event a Big Success. We're already working on plans for the
2026 Pierce Native Plant Sale!

In memoriam of our dear friend and collaborator Dan Borba.
|
Natural Rainwater was run by Dan Borba, an environmental educator, rainwater harvester, and frequent Pierce Conservation District collaborator. Dan was also a friend to many, and a cherished community and family member who possessed a plethora of wonderful attributes. Sadly, Dan passed away unexpectedly in 2023. We are hoping to find ways to honor him during our walk-up sale event this year, and all years to come. His gentle demeanor, passion for the environment, and general warmth as a human will be sorely missed, and forever cherished.
