Rain Gardens: Helping Nature and Having Fun

Rain gardens are a hands-on approach to mitigating the environmental damage posed by storm water run off. Easy to construct and fun for all ages, rain gardens beautify your property, enhance biodiversity, and capture copious amounts of storm water. Horticulturist Scott LaFleur will explain the construction process, identify some of the wonderful native plants that can be used, and discuss how rain gardens help address concerns about storm water pollution.
