Join Meredith Schnelle as we discuss the art of rain gardens and rain barrels. Rain barrels and rain gardens are an effective device to enhance a sustainable landscape. Rain gardens reduce erosion, filter storm water and are easy to install in a home landscape.  Rain barrels harvest water for later use while moderating runoff. Find out how to plan and install a rain garden using specifically adapted native plants to harness your water runoff while supporting wildlife and adding beauty to your property.
