Raingarden Workshops Available

Beginning in March, there will be a series of raingarden workshops designed to help you learn everything you need to know in order to install a successful raingarden. Each session costs $5 and requires registration with the Maplewood Nature Center, 2659 E. 7th Street, in Maplewood.

The sessions include a classroom session, a session on drainage and soils, a design workshop, and a construction workshop. Hands-on activities are the name of the game here. The earlier workshops are prerequisites for attending later workshops.

The dates are March 24, April 15, April 29 and May 6. Registration is required a week in advance.

Check with the district council's community calendar for updates on these opportunities.
