New raingarden workshop schedule announced

For just $10, you can sign up for Metro Blooms' raingarden workshops this spring — the third year in a row that we and municipal partners are sponsoring the workships.

By using native plants in your own yard, you can help manage stormwater runoff. And at the same time beautify your landscaping.
