Garden Demonstration: Working the Rain Garden

HOW WE DO IT: 
Visitors to Brookside are often interested in techniques employed by the gardening staff.  The following on-site
discussion demonstrates how.

Working the Rain Garden

Lisa Tayerle, Brookside Gardens Staff

Discover how to build and care for a rain garden. We’ll demonstrate how the rain garden at Brookside Gardens
directs rainwater and prevents overflow into the Chesapeake Bay. Plants are carefully selected to tolerate wet conditions yet thrive during dry periods.  Learn how we maintain our rain garden. Course # 231851;  registration required at www.ParkPASS.org
