Garden Club: Managing Stormwater Runoff and Increasing Biodiversity with RainScapes

Sunday, November 10, 2:00-4:00 pm
Free Admission

Come learn about how to evaluate your home landscape for stormwater runoff opportunities and what kinds of solutions have worked in Montgomery County! The focus will be on showing predominantly native RainScapes gardens that are managing stormwater and providing beautiful biodiversity benefits too.

The featured speaker Ann English, PLA, ASLA, LEED® AP BD+C, CBLP 1 &2( D+I), has a life-long love of plants and nature. Her design work has been in the private, non-profit and governmental sectors as well as the academic, with focus on plants, designing with plants and how they perform in the environments in which they are planted, with emphasis on stormwater management. She has degrees in American History/ Architectural History (BA, Penn) Regional Planning (MRP, Penn State) and Landscape Architecture (MLA, UGA), is the manager of the Montgomery County RainScapes Program of the Department of Environmental Protection and has been gardening since she first planted tulips and zinnias with her father at age 5.

Light refreshments will be served.

There will be a plant sale table managed by the Garden Club.
