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.
This workshop is hosted by the City of Minneapolis.

The original workshop on May 20th has been postponed due to weather. We will be hosting this workshop on Monday, June 9th from 6-8pm.
