Rain Garden Tour in Marin County

Come see what your neighbors have been doing in the backyards to 'Slow it, Spread it, Sink it' (rain water, that is!)

See and learn about a variety of ways to collect rainwater, reduce runoff, reduce your water bill and enhance your garden. These rain gardens include examples of roofwater harvesting, large and small rainwater cistern installations, beautiful swale construction with native plantings. You'll get some fabulous ideas to take home and implement in your own backyard!
