Healthy Yard Workshop
Thursday, October 28, 5:30 - 8:00pm
Schenley Park Café and Visitor Center (directions)
Learn options for slowing storm water and improving water quality in your yard. Learn the basics of building a rain garden, picking a good location, calculating size and identifying the right materials. Bring information (size of your roof and yard, downspout locations) to work on your home project during the workshop.
Participants will receive a native plant and a book about rain gardens. A light dinner is included.
The workshop will be moderated by Barton Kirk, ecological engineer and program manager for the non-profit SEEDS. Barton has examined the sustainability of stormwater infrastructure and has particular interest in regenerative design that engages local citizens. He has been leading rain garden and infrastructure design/build courses and workshops in the Northeast for the last three years with recent installations in Schenley Park and East Liberty.
