Master Rain Gardener | Summer 2025

Event Date:

August 8, 2025

Event Time:

2:00 pm

Event Location:

Mayfield Branch, Cuyahoga County Public Library

Train to be a Master Rain Gardener!

Learn to design and install your own rain garden and become the rain garden expert in your neighborhood.

Class Details

The Master Rain Gardener (MRG) course includes four (4) classes over a four-week period (see timeline below). Each class is from 2:00 pm-4:00 pm. The end time of each class may extend depending on the optional field trip location(s). Classes also include homework, quizzes, individualized feedback. Light snacks will be provided.

Certification Routes

This course will provide you with the information and experience to build your own rain garden and become a Certified Master Rain Gardener. We recognize that not everyone can build a rain garden on their own property though, so you can also become certified by participating in a public rain garden building, volunteering at a public rain garden, or passing along your new expertise to the public (i.e. presenting to your garden club, at a public library, etc.)

Upon certification, you’ll receive a Master Rain Gardener t-shirt, sign, and certificate (included in the cost of registration).
