Learn how to build a rain garden and contribute to the sustainability of our islands.

In this morning workshop, Jolie will describe the benefits of creating a rain garden system, the design and installation process and which plants are most effective. Class will include hands-on experience in the garden with site analysis, percolation testing and design consideration. Participants will also get a chance to tour the Arboretum's new rain garden and bioswale. Come ready to design, create and malama our `āina! Class size limited, preregistration required.
