Healthy Yards: Rain Garden Design and Construction

Slowing rain down and soaking it up in a rain garden is a beautiful way to improve your landscape while adapting to climate change. In this workshop, you’ll learn about the benefits of rain gardens and steps to plan out and construct a rain garden in your own yard. Join us to learn about the benefits of rain gardens to make our yards healthier, reduce flooding, and attract pollinators!

We’ll also show you how you can receive stormwater credits on your water bill for managing rain where it falls using rain gardens and other techniques. Save money and beautify your yard this spring!
