SUMMARY:Master Rain Gardener | Self-Paced Online Class
DESCRIPTION:Learn to design\, dig and plant your own rain garden!! Rain gardens capture and soak in rainwater that runs off hard surfaces like roofs and driveways while filtering pollutants that would otherwise flow to our storm drains and into our creeks and streams. Share your knowledge and become your community’s expert on rain gardens. By the end you have your rain garden all planned out\, and you are ready to dig\, build a rain garden and become a Master Rain Gardener! \nClass videos will be hosted online and can be viewed at your own pace.  \nRequirements:Participants must view all course online content\, complete homework\, and then either plant a new rain garden\, rehab a rain garden\, or adopt a public rain garden to receive their Master Rain Gardener certificate. All graduates receive a Master Rain Gardener t-shirt! \nThe Residential Certification is geared toward homeowners who would like to install a rain garden in their own yard and serve as the neighborhood expert on rain gardens. This is a great educational extension program for Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists as well. Additional information about the Master Rain Gardener Program here. \nAre you a professional looking to market your rain garden design or installation skills?
