Stormwater runoff is a common challenge for property owners, as rainwater washes off the diverse landscapes of Pennsylvania. Managing this runoff is essential to protecting water quality and preventing erosion. Rain gardens are an effective stormwater best management practice (BMP) that capture, absorb, and filter rainwater in shallow depressions. However, to ensure their effectiveness, rain gardens must be carefully designed and maintained. In this informative session, participants will learn about the benefits of rain gardens, the principles of their design, and the essential maintenance practices that will help them thrive while preventing potential problems.
