Rachel Lindsay will explain why rain gardens are an effective, nature-based “Green Infrastructure” solution to prevent larger environmental problems caused by run off from our streets, roofs, driveways, and patios. They can also add small areas of color, beauty, and habitat to our neighborhoods. Rachel holds an MS in Ecological Design, a BA in Anthropology, and her experience as Head of Landscape Design at the Regenerative Design Group make her well qualified to show us what problems rain gardens can help solve, how to plan them, and what pitfalls to avoid.
