Rain Gardens 101 With Huron-Clinton Metroparks

In partnership with Detroit Outdoors and Huron-Clinton Metroparks the Detroit Exploration and Nature Center is hosting a Rain Garden 101 course.

In this one-hour class you will learn about rain gardens and how you can solve local water problems by installing one. Throughout the class we will cover how a rain garden works and how it is different from other gardens. We will also go over the environmental benefits a rain garden provides, the beauty it can flaunt, and the maintenance that a rain garden needs to thrive. This class is an introduction to a five-week course, Master Rain Gardener Class, that goes more in-depth and explains the process of installing a rain garden.

This project has been funded wholly or in part through Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Nonpoint Source Program by the United States Protection Agency
