Planting for Clean Water: Richfield-Bloomington Watershed Management Organization

Learn all about how water moves across residential landscapes and how every yard and garden can have an impact on improving water quality. Designers from Metro Blooms Design+Build will walk through the steps of assessing your yard, directing water runoff, installing a rain barrel, siting a rain garden and more.
Following the presentation, attendees will have the chance to meet with landscape designers and master gardeners to discuss a project on their specific property. We will use photos and county GIS maps to virtually view properties.
Attendees will also receive information about Richfield-Bloomington Watershed Management Organization’s upcoming grant program for residential rain gardens! Learn how residents and businesses will be able to apply for funding to install rain gardens in the Richfield-Bloomington Watershed.
This workshop is hosted by the Richfield-Bloomington Watershed Management Organization.
