Skip Heibert, Landscape Architect Sublime, made a presentation concerning rain gardens to the Hillview Estates Homeowner’s Association to an enthusiastic crowd last Monday, August 24th. It was entitled “A Homeowner’s Introduction to Rain Gardens”.
Here are Skip's six steps to installing a rain garden:
1. Understanding how a rain garden works.
2. Choosing a location.
3. Testing the soil.
4. Sizing the rain garden.
5. Choosing plants.
6. Constructing the rain garden.
His goal was to get at least one homeowner excited enough to install a rain garden this fall. After a round of questions, he believes there will be at least 3 rain gardens in Hillview Estates next spring.
Skip would be happy to make the presentation to other interested organizations.
