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. Before

and after the talk, visit Sustainability Division tables for tools and

resources to help you get started in your own landscape and community.
