Rain gardens are a beautiful AND functional solution to stormwater runoff. Learn how to create one!
The Gunpowder Valley Conservancy is looking for volunteers to help install a large rain garden at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Kingsville, MD.
A rain garden is a special, water loving garden that helps soak up rain water from your roof or driveway. It is designed to capture water from a 1" rain storm and slowly infiltrate it back into the ground. By using beautiful, native flowers, grasses and even trees, a rain garden will beautify your yard while reducing stormwater impacts. It also provides habitat for wildlife, beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, and pollinators like butterflies.
No gardening experience necessary! Appropriate for ages 7 and up. Community service learning hours available.
What to expect: Dress for yard work (hat, long pants, sneakers/boots, sunscreen) and bring your own water bottle. Garden gloves and tools will be provided. Our hosts will provide lunch after the garden installation.
Questions? Contact Darcy Herman, Clear Creeks Project Assistant Manager at dherman@gunpowdervc.org or 410-780-8618.
