Rain Garden Workshop Series Aims to Protect WaterLearn how and why to build one or more rain gardens in your yard to create a low-maintenance, attractive feature that will also help protect local waterways and keep stormwater away from your house. Participants will receive personalized attention to help get started designing a rain garden for their sites, as well as free detailed step-by-step color guidebooks.
The workshops will be from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Participants can choose from one of five area sessions:
- Monday, February 25, in Yelm
- Thursday, March 6, in Olympia
- Thursday, March 27, in Eatonville
- Thursday, April 3, in Tumwater
- Thursday, April 17, in Lacey -}
In addition to the evening workshops, participants will be invited to get hands-on experience installing rain gardens at area schools in April and May.
