About

Join us in growing a more sustainable campus!

The Red Oak Rain Garden is more than just a beautiful green space—it's the University of Illinois’ first rain garden, an innovative solution that prevents flooding, improves water quality, and enhances the campus environment. Home to more than 50 native plant species, it enriches the well-being of students, staff, and faculty. As a living lab of collaboration, the rain garden advances research, provides hands-on training, and inspires healthy landscapes. Through University of Illinois Extension outreach, these efforts extend across our state.

Your donation sustains this vital space—preserving its infrastructure and ensuring impact for years to come. Help support the Red Oak Rain Garden and inspire the next generation of leaders in resilient, sustainable landscapes!
