Rain Gardens and Rain Barrels

Join Michele Arquette from the Clinton River Watershed Council to learn about the importance of rain gardens and barrels and how to use them in your own yard. By capturing water where it falls, we have the chance to drastically improve the quality of our water ways. Quickly becoming popular, rain gardens are being used in several locations to retain rain water. They can be found in residential yards as well as near businesses and public buildings. Because they are visually pleasing, rain gardens are used to enhance landscaping, not just to retain water. Come and learn how to conserve one of our most precious resources from this informative presentation. To register, go to http://calendar.rhpl.org or call 248-656-2900.
