Rain Gardens and Other Water Management Techniques for Your Property

Do you have excess water on your property following a rain event? A rain garden could be an effective and attractive solution for helping to direct and infiltrate the runoff or pooling on your property.

This presentation on February 2, 2023, “Rain Gardens and Other Water Management Techniques for Your Property” with presenter Rebecca Jacobs of the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District, helped attendees learn the ins and outs of properly installing a rain garden as well as other water management techniques that could benefit home properties.

This event was a follow-up program inspired by the second ABCD Community Climate Conversation event on October 18th, 2022 on the topic of “Creating Resilience to Big Storms and Flooding”, which attracted an engaged audience of 40 citizens. Attendees were energized by brainstorming actions the community could take together - most particularly the idea of creating a rain garden in a public location in Belfast and using it as an educational model.
