Working with Rain: A Rain Garden Workshop

This workshop aims to introduce attendees to the Rain Garden Stewardship Program, sponsored by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). During the workshop, attendees will learn about the purpose and function of rain gardens, as well as the dos and don'ts of stewarding one. The public will also have the opportunity to sign up for the DEP program, which will provide all necessary equipment and materials for performing maintenance activities stewarding a rain garden.NYC Parks GreenThumb hosts this event.

With GreenThumb’s support, community gardens are centers of environmental justice, ensuring that our city is fairer, safer, and greener for all. GreenThumb’s events are free and open to the public.
