The workshop will focus on Rain Gardens, Naturescaping and Native Plants!
Rain Gardens: A rain garden is a sunken garden bed that captures storm water runoff from hard surfaces like rooftops, sidewalks and driveways, and allows it to soak back into the ground naturally. Rain Gardens help you use one of our most plentiful resources – rain!
Naturescaping: Naturescaping is the practice of using native plants and simple techniques that mimic nature so you can have a garden that helps you reduce your water use, your use of harmful chemicals and your maintenance.
Native Plants: Native plants provide a beautiful, hardy, drought-resistant, low-maintenance landscape while benefiting the environment. Native plants need less watering once established, and save time and money by eliminating or significantly reducing the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and lawn maintenance equipment.
