Rain Gardens: Saturday, October 17, 9:30am-1:30pm.
Learn how to properly locate, design, construct and maintain a small-scale rain garden--a landscaped area that is designed to capture rain water and allow it to soak into the ground. Rain gardens allow polluted runoff from roads and buildings to infiltrate into the ground, slowing its flow and preventing pollutants from reaching local streams and the Potomac River, a drinking water supply for the region. An optional tour of a home featuring a raingarden and several other sustainable stormwater management features will be offered after the workshop.
