Rainscaping: The next generation of water-wise landscaping

Presenters: Rob Tyler and Hunter Reed, Ecosystem Regeneration Artisans
Cycles of flash flooding and drought present many challenges for home gardens and our ecosystem. With rainscapes, we can create conditions for plants to thrive in harsh weather, while providing benefits to wildlife and human communities. By harvesting rainwater in a rain garden, water that would runoff during storms to contribute to flash flooding, sinks into the soil and recharges the aquifer. Building functional rain gardens requires careful planning and plant placement. During this talk, we’ll guide you through the process of creating rain gardens with teaching stories from 6 years of building residential rainscapes. Free informational booklets on rain gardens will be handed out to all attendees.
