Our rain garden is in its second season. Native gardens take 3 years to establish. So what does that mean? We will tend the garden more closely this and next year. Years following, the maintenance time will be much less.
Join in for some very informal education about native-to-Michigan plants as we work on the rain garden. Over this season we’ll pull weeds, observe plant growth, learn about the Chelsea Chop. We will regularly take deep cleansing breaths and work on creating a border around the garden so our mowers have an easier time of it.
The Rain Garden work time takes place on the 3rd Saturday of every month, with the last session of the season will be October 18th. Whether you can volunteer as a one-time or ongoing effort, this hands-on Green Sanctuary commit-tee project is a fun way to be with People’s People! Bring your favorite hydration drink, gloves and tools to church this Saturday morning, 9:30-11:30 and enjoy camaraderie and learning about why rain gardens are an important strategy for stormwater management.
