Upcoming Speakers
December 4th:
Susan Bryan -
Rain Garden Coordinator

Plant A Rain Garden – Keep our Rivers Clean, One Garden at a Time. Anyone can plant a rain garden! You don’t need any special equipment – just a yard, a spade, compost and a few plants. Rain Gardens are a beautiful addition to any landscape - and keep our rivers, lakes and streams clean! We’ll talk about the benefits of Rain Gardens and how to build and plant one. Bring your questions. Build one yourself, or “Tom Sawyer” your local teenager to dig it for you. Rain gardens are for the greater good and are practical solutions for basement and yard flooding.
