Rain Gardens 101

Learn how to construct your own rain garden! Attend this workshop & get a FREE Admission Pass ($10 value) to enjoy the Portland Home & Garden Show that same day! We'll explore the critical role rain gardens can play in urban stream restoration, and how they add beautiful landscaping to your yard at the same time.
 

You will learn how to assess your site to determine the best location and size, calculate impervious surfaces, determine soil suitability, choose appropriate plants, and how to maintain your new rain garden.

Admission Pass is given to participants at the end of the workshop.
