Learn how to help protect local waterways and Puget Sound while also preventing storm drainage from harming your home. A free workshop will provide all the details needed to build a “rain garden” in your yard to create an attractive feature to manage polluted storm runoff and make habitat for birds and butterflies.
This how-to workshop will be offered on Thursday, April 23, from 6 to 8:15 p.m., with an optional hands on plant-design activity from 8:15 to 9 p.m. at the Hands On Children’s Museum, 414 Jefferson St NE, Olympia. Each participant will receive detailed information about designing and building a rain garden, as well as a free full-color handbook and beautiful poster.
The workshop is free but registration is required by visiting www.streamteam.info or calling the WSU Native Plant Salvage Project at 360-867-2167. This workshop is co-sponsored by Thurston County Water Resources, Stream Team, and WSU Extension’s Native Plant Salvage Project.
