Do you want to learn how to design, install, and maintain a rain garden? Rain gardens not only help with ponding in your yard, but they also capture polluted rainwater before it reaches our waterways. Chagrin River Watershed Partners and Lake County Soil & Water Conservation District are offering in-person Master Rain Gardener certification courses this summer. To learn more and register, visit their website at www.neomasterraingardener.org.
