Planning a Rain Garden: The Whys, Wheres & Hows

Rain gardens are designed areas of native plants to soak up rainwater. Learn about the process of planning, designing, installing, and maintaining these crucial plantings through a step-by-step guide. Bring your smartphone or other device, a limited number of paper copies and library Chromebooks also available. This interactive workshop also includes plant lists, displays and activities to familiarize you with testing for filtration/soil type, the proper slope, and more.
