DESCRIPTION: The rain brings many benefits for watersheds and residents. But it can also be a bane for both if it carries pollutants or excessively floods our local streams. Capturing, controlling and filtering some of this stormwater runoff in rain gardens is one way to help beautify our landscapes while we improve the health of our watersheds.
The purpose of the training is to help gardeners and homeowners learn the skills needed to design, build and maintain rain gardens and serve as local resources to other community members interested in building rain gardens. It will include both an indoor and outdoor component. Seating priority will be given to those willing to work with OSU as rain garden representatives and provide assistance to local communities in which they live.
SPEAKERS: Trainers Rob Emanuel and Derek Godwin, Oregon State University Extension Service and Oregon Sea Grant. Authors of the forthcoming Oregon Rain Garden Manual.
