Raingarden Workshop: Planting for Pollinators

Help keep our river and lakes clean while creating a beautiful and bee/butterfly-friendly habitat in your yard. Raingardens are designed to capture rainwater and allow it to soak into the ground within 48 hours. When they are planted with local native plants that also encourage and feed pollinators, their positive impact on our environment is maximized.

Metro Blooms is offering a workshop on Thursday, April 18, 6-9 p.m., at Audubon Park Recreation Center that will give an overview of raingardens and native plants, as well as resources for hire if you need extra help. The cost is $15. To register for this or other workshops that are being offered in the metro area this spring, visit metroblooms.org or call 651-699-2426.
