Learn to design, dig and plant your own rain garden!!
Rain gardens capture and soak in rainwater that runs off hard surfaces like roofs and driveways while filtering pollutants that would otherwise flow to our storm drains and into our creeks and streams.
Share your knowledge and become your community's expert on rain gardens.
There are five classes. Watch videos for each class and do the homework. By the end you have your rain garden all planned out, and you are ready to dig, build a rain garden and become a Master Rain Gardener!
- Cost: $50
Class videos will be hosted online and can be viewed at your own pace. Register below to get started.
