Discover how native plants and thoughtful landscape design can work together to manage stormwater, support wildlife, and create a beautiful, functional home garden. This guided tour showcases a residential rain garden designed specifically to capture and filter runoff using hardy, regionally appropriate native species.
Participants will learn how the rain garden was planned, constructed, and maintained, with an emphasis on soil preparation, grading, plant selection, and seasonal care. The tour highlights key native plants that not only thrive in wet–dry cycles but also provide valuable habitat for pollinators and birds.
Attendees will see firsthand how the garden slows and filters stormwater, reduces erosion, and enhances overall watershed health. The program also covers practical tips for homeowners interested in installing their own rain garden, including sizing, placement, and simple techniques to improve water infiltration.
Whether you’re a gardener, homeowner, educator, or conservation enthusiast, this tour offers an engaging look at how small-scale, nature‑based solutions can make a meaningful impact right in your own backyard.
