Our Popular Rain Barrels Are Back
Ever wonder what to do with all that water sitting in your yard after a hard rain? One of the features of this year’s festival will be presentations by federation experts on how to build a rain garden. Rain gardens are simple and effective methods for reducing stormwater and coastal flooding. They are small depressions planted with native trees, shrubs, grasses and flowers that collect, store and infiltrate stormwater. Most plants available at the festival are suitable for rain gardens, so festival-goers can learn how to create a rain garden and buy the plants all in the same day.
