You can learn how to build a rain garden and improve the health of our creeks in our ongoing Rain Garden Program.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a Strowd Roses grant, Friends of Bolin Creek has continued our outreach this year to teach community members how easy it is to build a rain garden.\u00a0 We conducted another successful rain garden workshop in late May where we trained a number of homeowners to build their own rain gardens. They helped dig and plant a rain garden at\u00a0 a homeowners’ site just off of Bolin Creek.<\/p>\n

In late summer, Friends of Bolin Creek let a workshop at the Roger Road Community Center day camp.\u00a0 Campers learned about critters, native plants and stormwater during a scavanger hunt in the field next door.\u00a0 Then campers picked up shovels and together dug a rain garden near the entrance of the Roger Road Community Center. This picture captures it all.<\/p>\n
