Climate Ready Homes: Rain Gardens 101

Looking for a way to transform your yard this spring?

Rain gardens are outdoor spaces with a lot happening just below the surface. Their smart design absorbs excess rainwater and naturally filters it back into the soil, helping your yard and the environment.

Join the Climate Ready Homes team at the upcoming Richmond Hill event Our Power, Our Planet: An Earth Day Celebration where we will lead Rain Gardens 101. Get inspired by vibrant, climate-smart rain garden designs while learning how to create the perfect rain garden for your property. Register for the workshop and stay for the Earth Day event for hands-on fun for the whole family!

What you'll learn:

• Foundations of rain garden design
• Environmental benefits of rain gardens
• How to choose the best rain garden for your home

Attend for a chance to win a door prize and enjoy free refreshments!

Date & Time: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
Location: Central Branch, Richmond Hill Public Library

NOTE: Parking may be limited; additional street parking will be available on Hopkins Street and Atkinson Street during the day.
