Details for Master Rain Gardener Class: Lincoln Park Public Library

Date(s): 03/05/2024 - 03/05/2024

Time:  1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Overview:
In this five-week class, you will learn how to design your own rain garden! Rain Gardens filter and cool stormwater so that our streams and rivers run clean. Join us to receive step-by-step instruction to create your garden, protecting your home against flooding and helping the birds and butterflies. And in the process, you will become a neighborhood expert!

Participants must attend all five classes, and plant or adopt an existing rain garden to earn their Master Rain Gardener certificate, sign, and t-shirt. Classes will be held Tuesdays beginning March 5 and running through April 2 at the Lincoln Park Public Library.

After each class, there will be office hours available for 30 minutes for participants to ask questions or get extra help on their rain garden design. There will also be a visit to a rain garden, but that is optional to attend. Each class focuses on a different aspect of designing a rain garden, and by the end of the series you will have planned out a rain garden for your own site!

Master Rain Gardener Classes at Lincoln Park Public Library will meet on the following Tuesdays: March 5, 12, 19, 26 and April 2. These classes are funded through a grant from EPA – Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Grant: Protecting Lake Erie Marsh and Waters.
