A rain garden can beautify your property while reducing flooding by capturing stormwater. As soil and plantings absorb the rainwater, they help keep our drinking water safe by filtering out harmful chemicals and excess nutrients.

Learn about the importance of rain gardens, how they work, and how you can build a rain garden in your own yard. Speaker: Derron LaBrake, Principal of Wetlands & Ecology, Inc., a Certified Ecological Designer, Professional Wetland Scientist, a Board Member of Darby Creek Valley Association.
