In 2014, MNL began work on the creation of two rain gardens at Prince of Peace Church in Roseville. These rain gardens collect runoff from parking lot and roadway areas much more effectively than the previous turf lawn could. A variety of native herbaceous plants and shrubs were added in the spring of 2015 to filter runoff collected in the gardens.
