Join us on May 11 from 9–11 am to learn about the properties and benefits of rain gardens. A rain garden is a depression created in your landscape to allow rainwater from your roof or driveway to slowly soak into the ground instead of running off into the nearest stream or Puget Sound. Native soils are removed and replaced with a special blend of high organic soil, bioretention, and mulch. Rain gardens are then planted with beautiful, hardy, low-maintenance native perennial plants that can withstand drought and wet root conditions.
