Tukwila Rain Garden Workshop & Bog Garden Planting Party
Learn how to make a rain garden or bog garden at home to protect the Duwamish River from polluted runoff, the number one source of pollution in Puget Sound. Rain gardens and bog gardens are beautiful landscape features that catch and filter polluted runoff from rooftops, driveways, and other hard surfaces. Benefits include flood reduction, pollution prevention, groundwater recharge, and habitat for birds and butterflies.
Attend the workshop to learn about green infrastructure and how to design and build your own rain garden at home. Attendees will receive a free Rain Garden Handbook for Western Washington Homeowners (PDF).
Gain hands-on experience at the volunteer event by planting a bog garden at the Duwamish Hill Preserve to filter polluted runoff from the parking lot. Feel free to join one or both events.
