Rain Garden Workshop

March 3, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Saturday, March 3, 9:00-11:00
5201 Fen Oak Drive, Rm 121
Madison, WI 53718-8827

Learn how installing a rain garden can help protect our lakes, rivers and streams and add beauty to your property!

This workshop will focus more on helping participants new to the world of rain garden design through the process of actually designing a rain garden plan for their property and less on the background and benefits of rain gardens. This workshop will include hands-on stations and resources to lead participants through the process of site selection, sizing, site preparation, and plant selection. Information on installation and maintenance will also be provided. Experts will be available to help participants through the process and answer questions.

Participants should come to workshop with the following:
1-basic site plan of their property to help staff determine the best location for a rain garden (arial photo from Googlemaps)
2-general size of roof to help size the garden
3-basic understanding of where the water on property drains

Participants will have the option of ordering native plants at a discounted rate through the Plant Dane Native Plant Program. Visit www.ripple-effects.com/plantdane for details.
