Workshops and Classes

Rain Garden Workshop

Thursday, July 16, 6 – 8:30 p.m., Roadhouse Nursery, Silverdale

The rain runoff from your roof, driveway or patio has to go somewhere. Why not use it to water a beautifully functional, low-maintenance landscape feature? Colorful, lush rain gardens reduce flooding, recharge our drinking water supply, treat pollution and provide habitat for backyard wildlife. Join Washington Sea Grant, Kitsap County Surface and Stormwater Management Program, WSU Kitsap County Extension and other local partners for this free workshop on rain garden installation. Space is limited, so register early via the web or phone:
