Water is a becoming a precious commodity. During this class we will explore the principles of outdoor water management practices that help conserve and protect water resources, including techniques used to build a rain garden to capture water run-off. Part one of the class will discuss the location, size, drainage and construction elements of rain gardens. In part two of the class, we will break into small groups, where each attendee will have the opportunity to share their site plans and work on a preliminary rain garden design. Bring photos and/or a sketch of your property for exploration.
