Come and learn how you can help protect local water quality by planting a rain garden in your yard. Homeowners can disconnect the downspouts on their house and direct the rainwater from their roof to a rain garden where the water soaks into the ground and waters the plants. Rain gardens look like regular gardens and are only wet for a few hours after a rain storm. There is a wide variety of native, perennial plants that can be used in a rain garden. Come and learn how easy it is to disconnect your downspout and install a rain garden in your yard. All participants will receive a free rain gauge and rain garden plant seeds for their homes.
