How to Plant Your Own Rain Garden

Learn how to design and install your own rain garden at this informative event.

A rain garden is a garden which takes advantage of rainfall and storm water runoff in its design and plant selection & is designed to withstand the extremes of moisture and concentrations of nutrients that are found in storm water runoff.

Rain gardens are sited ideally close to the source of the runoff and serve to slow the storm water as it travels downhill, giving it more time to infiltrate and less opportunity to gain momentum and erosive power.
