Raingardens 101: Why Retain the Rain?
City of Rochester Announces Free Raingarden Class
Is minimizing pollution of local waterways important to you? Are you looking for a way to draw more birds and butterflies to your yard? Do you want to spend less time mowing your lawn? Join us to learn how retaining the rain can make all the difference!
This class will cover the basics of raingarden functions, the benefits of long rooted and native plants, and the importance of managing storm water on site. A photo tour will highlight raingardens throughout the city, including those installed as part of the Realize Raingarden Rochester cost-share grant program.
