Flood waters may be gone, but the impact on our landscapes can linger. Saturated soils, root damage, contaminants, and stressed plants can create long-term challenges. Help plants recover by staying off wet lawns, monitoring for pests, and discarding flooded vegetable crops. Recovery takes time—and patience.
