Rain Gardens: Beautiful Water-Saving Designs
Rain gardens take advantage of our natural abundance of rainfall by using rainwater flowing from roof, driveway, or lawn. These gardens can save watering time and money and may even solve problems caused by poor drainage. We focus on concepts, designs, and the use of native plantings plus planning and designing your own rain garden. A morning lecture will be followed by a visit to two nearby rain gardens to demonstrate important features and construction techniques. Bring a bag lunch.
