This workshop will cover benefits, considerations and design strategies related to rain gardens. The morning session will involve an indoor presentation with Q&A designed to give participants the knowledge and resources needed to install down spout or rain gardens of their own.

After lunch, we will roll up our sleeves and get some hands-on experience, working together on a rain garden install on the Monastery grounds. The afternoon portion is optional and space is limited. To be included in this part, check ‘I want participate in the afternoon hands-on garden planting’ when registering. If this checkbox is unavailable, this session has reached capacity.
