Rain Garden Guardians

Do you want to learn more about rain gardens, gardening with native plants, supporting urban wildlife, stormwater pollution, green infrastructure design, plant i.d., or exotic invasive management? Are you interested in low impact exercise, more time outside, earning volunteer hours, picking up a new skill, or meeting people with similar interests? Come visit us on a Rain Garden Guardian Day for an educational tour or to volunteer! Drop by at one of these locations between 9am and 3pm on the dates below:

Participant expectations: Come prepared to learn and ask questions, and if working get dirty, and be in the sun. We recommend long, loose fitting pants with a belt (great for hanging hand tools on), closed toe shoes, gardening gloves, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, and a nutritious snack. Bringing your own hand tools and gloves is recommended, but we have some to share.

Work may include: Hand weeding, plant i.d., digging, mulching, pruning large or woody plants, uprooting exotic invasive plants, raking debris, standing, squatting, kneeling, lifting, etc.
