Missed our 1:1 Rain Garden Coaching Sessions in March? Here's a great opportunity to get expert rain garden help from the Friends of Lake Wingra. Open to residents who live in the Wingra watershed.

Join us for a personalized, 1-on-1 Rain Garden Workshop on Sunday, May 3 from 12:30–4:00 pm at the UW–Madison Arboretum Visitor Center. For a $20 registration fee, participants will receive a 30-minute session with rain garden experts to review their property, identify drainage patterns, and get tailored guidance on rain garden placement, sizing, plant selection, and installation—perfect for projects connected to residential downspouts. Open to Lake Wingra Watershed residents (with limited space for others), this is a great opportunity to plan your project and learn about potential $500 City of Madison reimbursements to help cover installation costs. See www.lakewingra.org/rain-garden-workshop for more information.
