The unpredictable weather patterns in our region can make gardening very challenging, especially in regards to inconsistent rainfall. Recent garden seasons have been plagued by drought followed by downpour. Knowing how to capture and store rainwater gives gardeners vital access to a resource necessary for thriving plants. It also enables us to slow the flow of stormwater from the impervious surfaces in our neighborhoods into our municipal stormwater management system, thus reducing the amount of untreated sewage that overflows into our natural waterways.This workshop will cover the basics of rainwater harvesting and management. You'll learn how to capture and store rainwater for future use and the basics of building a rain garden. Weather permitting, we'll walk around Green Learning Station and discuss the CGC's rainwater collection systems.
