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 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.
