Create a Rain Garden

Create a Rain Garden with Native Nurseries

Join us for an engaging and informative “Create a Rain Garden” workshop where participants will have the opportunity to learn the essentials of designing and establishing their own rain gardens. This hands-on event will cover the importance of rain gardens in sustainable landscaping, emphasizing their role in mitigating stormwater runoff and promoting biodiversity.

Courtney Schoen, from TAPP (Think About Personal Pollution), will discuss how rain gardens filter and break down many pollutants, improving the quality of lakes, rivers, streams and springs nearby. The City of Tallahassee provides a limited number of $175 rain garden grants to city residents interested in creating a rain garden. Courtney will go over the basics of building a rain garden and information about the grant process and Elizabeth Georges will go over the native plants that are best suited.

Whether you’re a gardening enthusiast or someone interested in eco-friendly practices, this workshop offers valuable insights and practical skills to create a beautiful and environmentally beneficial rain garden. Don’t miss the chance to contribute to a greener community and enhance your landscaping expertise!
