Rain Gardens 101 Neighborhood Workshops

Stormwater management plantings at Henrietta Lacks Park

Curious about those beautiful planted areas in your community that soak up stormwater? They’re more than pretty landscaping — they’re rain gardens, and they help keep our local waterways clean.

Join us for a hands-on workshop series where stormwater engineers and landscape architects will show you first hand nature-based stormwater facilities like rain gardens and bioretention. You’ll learn:

    • How these systems work

    • What they do for us (clean water!)

    • What healthy ones should look like

    • What to do if something’s off
