Rain Gardens: Beautiful Landscapes with a Purpose

Join Kate Laramie, Watershed Ecologist with the Huron River Watershed Council, for an informative session on the benefits of rain gardens and how they can help protect local waterways. Learn how these eco-friendly gardens capture and filter stormwater, reduce flooding, and en-hance the beauty of your landscape—all while supporting native plants and pollinators.

If you’re a homeowner living on the lake, a rain garden can be a powerful tool for im-proving water quality by reducing runoff and preventing erosion along the shoreline. This session will provide practical tips on designing, installing, and maintaining a rain garden to protect both your property and the health of local lakes and rivers.
