Design your own rain garden step-by-step during class. We teach you everything you need to know to create your own rain garden. That includes lessons learned from more than 1,400 rain gardens built by homeowners just like you! Learn what works and what doesn’t. Ask questions in our live class and visit a rain garden in person! Neighborhood virtual breakout rooms and Facebook (or an alternate forum) for discussion/homework. Earn your certification – including a t-shirt and sign – by building your own rain garden or adopting a public rain garden.
