River Friendly Gardening: Rain gardens and native plantings to protect water quality
The Cannon River Watershed Partnership and Carleton College invite the public to join Nancy Braker, Director of the Cowling Arboretum at Carleton College, on a guided walking tour of the “river friendly gardens” that exist both in and around Carleton. The tour will begin with a Carleton rain garden and move into the surrounding neighborhood to explore a private rain garden and a several boulevards with alternative plantings.
Participants will learn how native plantings filter and absorb runoff, attract birds and butterflies, and add color and variety to green spaces.
