Rain Garden Class


Rain Garden Class

By NHS Staff


On Friday, June 13th, we offered a residential rain garden class to teach people about the role of rain gardens in controlling storm water runoff. Besides alleviating water runoff, rain gardens can also be a beautiful addition to your landscape!

And what better way to learn about rain gardens than in the rain? Kudos to all of our dedicated participants!

This class series was made possible by the Greater New Haven Green Fund.

The indoor component of the workshop - learning about the history of combined sewer overflows (CSOs), contamination of water, the effects of urbanization on water sources, and more.

Rain in the rain garden.


NHS VISTA Member Kim Ochilo was willing to weather the storm to learn about creating a rain garden.
