Member Speaker Series: Rainscaping: Gardening for Water Quality and Biodiversity

Doors open at 10:30 a.m., presentation at 11 a.m.

Rainscaping offers a rare win-win solution for challenging landscapes—reducing erosion on your property and sedimentation in local streams, while adding color to your garden, supporting pollinators, and lowering maintenance and fertilizer costs. Join Allison Joyce of the EarthWays Center and James Faupel of Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum as they share practical strategies for designing and implementing rainscaping at home. Free for members | Registration required.


Before and after the talk, visit Sustainability Division tables for tools and resources to help you get started in your own landscape and community.
