Landscaping for Water

October 24, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Raise your hand if you know what it feels like to have water issues at home – flooded basement, soggy yard, etc.?

Join us at the farm for an engaging & practical discussion on ways to mitigate water issues at your own home by how you create your landscaping and what plants you use.

Speakers
1) Sharon Osterby, Lake County Stormwater Management Commission

2) Bob Dean, Center for Neighborhood Technology – Bob will present the CNT’s RainReady program. Learn how CNT can partner with your municipality to create a comprehensive plan that will capture and absorb water onsite.

3) Cliff Miller, Cliff Miller Landscape Artistry.

“The way we build cities makes them flood, even in modest rainstorms, because asphalt and concrete prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground. We call this urban flooding. Through programs like our RainReady initiative, we help homeowners and municipalities save money by installing green infrastructure solutions like rain gardens and bioswales for stormwater management.” -CNT
