Slow the Flow with Rain Barrels and Rain Gardens at a Workshop on July 10

Rain gardens and rain barrels are two easy practices that bring backyard conservation benefits while reducing rooftop runoff.  Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District is collaborating with the Middlefield Library on Wednesday, July 10th at 6:00 p.m. for an overview of both including how to get started, things to consider, design and installation tips, and many helpful resources. 

This introductory workshop will be held at The Patterson Center at the Geauga County Fairgrounds (14269 Claridon-Troy Road, Burton 44021) and is guaranteed to “wet” your water conservation appetite!  Optional trip to see rain garden in the making for those who’d like to stay at the end.  Register with the Middlefield Library by visiting geaugalibrary.libcal.com/event/5125281or by calling 440‐632‐1961.
