Metro Blooms, the City of Minneapolis, and Hennepin County are sponsoring a Rain Garden Workshop for Congregations and Schools in Minneapolis.
Rain Garden Workshop topics discussed will include: rain garden definition, how they work, case studies on rain garden importance, basics of design, installation, native plants, aesthetics and maintenance concerns on a larger scale property, how to receive City of Minneapolis stormwater credits.
Attendees will receive
a packet of support material and information on planning a successful rain garden installation on your property.
Attendees will also receive information on how-to qualify as a Metro Blooms Demonstration Project. As a Demonstration Project, we will take your congregation or school through the design process, step-by-step, from site layout to design specifications, and in the Fall of 2008/Spring of 2009 participate in the installation of a rain garden on your congregation’s or school’s property.
