Have you ever wondered if you could have a rain garden in your yard? Rain gardens

beautify your property, reduce polluted runoff to streams, and enhance native habitat for pollinators and other local wildlife.

Watershed Institute River-Friendly Coordinator, Olivia Spildooren, will prepare you to design, install, and care for your own rain garden, including details of installation like how to determine the location, size, and depth of your rain garden, how to re-direct roof water to the garden, trouble-shooting, and what maintenance looks like through the years.

Participants will also get a chance to research NJ native plants and leave with a list of plant options and designs for their specific yard.

This event is run in partnership with the Ewing Green Team.
