The D.C. Department of the Environment is offering to green the yards of eight D.C. homes at no charge — except the condition that the owners open up their environmentally friendly landscapes to tourists.

Through the program, the D.C. government will install free landscaping enhancements, including a large shade tree, a rain garden, “Bayscaping,” pervious surfaces and a rain barrel.
