Join us for another Rain Gardens Program to be held tomorrow Friday June 26, 2026, at the Scott Research and Extension Center. I will be giving a presentation on Rain Gardens, explaining what a rain garden is, if one would be beneficial for your landscape and how to install one. We will also cover bog gardens and water features for the landscape. The program will take place at noon, so bring your lunch & learn all about rain gardens!

Program Highlights: Learn how to transform low lying areas in the landscape into vibrant and textural rain gardens. Discover types of bog plants that can be used to create a more permanent water garden. We’ll also explore types of water features that can be installed to create whimsy & focal features in the landscape!

We hope to see you there!
