This is my first post to this blog on rain gardens. I decided to compile all of my information about rain garden construction and design in order to properly integrate the garden's learning opportunities into a  K-12 curriculum. This will ensure the proper use of all of the rain garden's special features and functions in a school setting for students to learn about aspects of science, real world applications, and sustainability through a hands on experience rather than just in the classroom. We want to encourage learning in all ages as well as utilization of the rain garden through the future generations in order to ensure the graden's health and upkeep as the kids, as well as staff, come and go in the school. A rain garden is a simple concept that can go a long way as this blog will show you in the weeks to come. So stay along for the ride.
