If you like the idea of beautifying your landscape while protecting water quality at the same time, then come learn how to design and install a rain garden. As one example of what is known as green infrastructure, rain gardens capture and clean pollutants out of runoff from rooftops, driveways, and sidewalks. Simple yet effective, rain gardens are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners; with just a few months to go before spring, you should have just enough time to plan your own.
