What is a raingarden? It’s more than a pretty landscape feature — it’s a smart, sustainable way to manage stormwater, reduce runoff, and better protect our lakes, rivers, and streams. In this presentation by water resources educator Barbara Heitkamp, you’ll learn how raingardens are designed, how they function, and why they’re an essential tool in fighting pollution and erosion.

Registration required: https://ecrlib.libcal.com/event/14504006

We’ll showcase the native plants that thrive in these systems — from vibrant coneflowers to sturdy sedges — and share tips for maintaining a healthy, long-lasting garden. Whether you're a homeowner, community member, or nature enthusiast, you’ll leave inspired to bring more raingardens into the world.

Event hosted by the Chisago County Master Gardeners.
