What is a Rain Garden and Why Do I Want One?

Rain gardens beautify home landscapes.

Rain gardens beautify home landscapes.

A rain garden is a creative landscape feature that adds beauty and value to your home while conserving natural resources and benefiting our environment!

Join Erik Carr, Urban and Community Conservationist for Clackamas County Soil and Water Conservation District, as he shows you the basics of how to design your own rain garden. Learn how these attractive landscape features help keep local streams clean and provide an opportunity to add easy-to-care-for native plants to your yard!

The workshop is FREE! Please RSVP to save your spot by contacting Cathy by phone at 503-210-6000, or by email at cmcqueeney@conservationdistrict.org.

RSVP is requested, but not required. Those who RSVP will be automatically entered into a drawing for a beautifully hand crafted mason bee nesting box, perfect for supporting these hard-working native pollinators in our community.
