Description of the class:
Become a Master Rain Gardener - and become a volunteer resource for your neighborhood.
This class will teach you to design and build a rain garden. Step-by-step, each week's workshop and homework will lead you through your own rain garden design, with lots of feedback. By the end of the class, your design will be done, and you will be confident that it will work. You will be ready to dig!
Washtenaw County has been planting rain gardens since 2005 - over 170 rain gardens - and in that time we have learned a thing or two about what makes them successful.
Come train with us to be a Master *Rain* Gardener. Help us spread the word in the tradition of the Master Gardener program. Become your neighborhood's expert on rain gardens!
Rain Gardens filter and cool storm water so that our streams and rivers run clean. It is a nonpoint solution for nonpoint source pollution. Anyone can plant one in their own back yard.
