Raingarden Tour and Information Session - FREE

Thinking of putting in a rain garden but not sure where to begin? Join staff from the City of Edmonds to tour raingardens in the Perrinville and Seaview neighborhoods. Using the Rain Garden Handbook for Western Washington as our guide, we’ll explore the process of designing, building and maintaining a rain garden, and see examples of key principles at work. Participants will receive a free copy of the Rain Garden Handbook and a list of local resources to take home. Wear sturdy walking shoes and dress for the weather – this event will happen rain or shine. The event is free, but registration is required.
