Rain Gardens in Part Shade

Here is your chance to see rain gardens in action.  Visit a property with four recently designed and planted gardens that utilize most of the rainwater from the home’s roof.  These gardens use several methods for collecting and distributing water, including rain barrels, drip hoses, and simple underground piping.  The landscape designer and homeowner will discuss the goals of the project, some of challenges encountered, and various techniques used, as well as highlighting the native plants chosen for this part-shade situation.  Handouts with information on design, rain barrel set-up, the plant list, and other resources will be provided.
