Rain Gardens for Wildlife and Water Quality – NPSOT Boerne Chapter Mtg.
November 2, 2021 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Learn how to make the most of the rain to improve your landscape for wildlife and water quality. Rain gardens are shallow depressions that help temporarily capture rainwater runoff from hard surfaces like rooftops and allow the water to be filtered and cleaned through plants and soils. When plants are selected properly, these gardens can help pollinators, birds and other wildlife. Learn the basics of site analysis, installation and some of the best local native plants to make your rain garden attractive as well as wildlife friendly.
