 A rain garden is a bowl-shaped planted landscape feature that captures and absorbs stormwater runoff. At this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to design, build, plant and maintain a rain garden on your property. Register for the Rain Garden Workshop (virtual and in-person options available).

This workshop is a partnership between the Northern Virginia Regional Commission, Northern Virginia Soil & Water Conservation District, and Arlington County.
 Perhaps you’re familiar with native plants and their importance for the ecological functioning of our landscapes. Or maybe you’re new to the topic and simply looking for fresh ideas to beautify your landscaping while earning Stormwater Utility voluntary credit. Whatever your experience or goals, the Plant Nova Natives website offers user-friendly resources to help you choose native species suited for your property and available at local nurseries. On their website, you can find a guide to local native species, a list of local businesses that supply natives, and links to organizations that will come to your property and offer customized landscaping recommendations.
