SUMMARY:Rain Garden Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Alabama Cooperative Extension System and Etowah County Soil and Water Conservation District is partnering with the City of Gadsden to host a rain garden workshop.  This educational workshop will be held at Noccalula Falls.  Workshop participants will learn how to install a rain garden in their home landscape.  The day will include a demonstration of a rain garden install at Noccalula Falls.  \n\n	A rain garden is an attractive native plant garden with a purpose: to protect local streams and rivers.  Rain gardens are positioned near a runoff source like a downspout\, driveway or sump pump to capture rainwater runoff and stop the water from reaching the sewer system.  The soils and plants then naturally filter out pollutants found in rain and runoff helping to protect local streams and rivers.\nPlanting a rain garden in your yard may seem like a small thing\, but capturing the first inch of water from a storm in a rain garden keeps 90% of pollutants and nutrients out of the local streams and rivers. Keeping rain where it falls by putting it into a rain garden will help protect our rivers and streams.
