Category: General Rain garden talk + tending

October 14, 2020 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Falcon Ridge Middle School
Apple Valley, MN 55124

Join Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) on Wednesday, October 15 from 3-5 pm for a rain garden talk and tending at Falcon Ridge Middle School in Apple Valley. We'll weed the overgrown rain gardens at this site, providing more space for native plants to return and flourish. And as these plants return, they'll provide habitat while their deep roots hold the soil in place, improving rainwater absorption and preventing pollution.
Then, we'll cover the basics of rain gardens in your yards. In our talk, we'll describe what a rain garden is, resources to build one and why they are so important for our river, lakes and wetlands.
All are welcome, however, capacity is limited and registration required. All supplies and training will be provided and volunteers will work closely with FMR staff. Due to COVID-19, masks and social distancing are required.
