Diggin’ Shoreline’s Spring class series kicks off with a class taught by Diggin’ co-chair John Ruby, on How to Build a Rain Garden on Saturday, May 3. If you are would like to attend, be sure to register by May 1!
Learn how to manage and utilize the flow of water through the landscape. This hands-on class will assess a water problem and solve it through rainwater catchment and overflow into a rain garden for decreased runoff pollution and improved wildlife habitat. Fee for the class is $15; ($10 for Diggin’ Shoreline members).
A landscaper by trade, John brings his love and experience of natural systems design, a passion to connect and inform within community, and sense of garden adventure. John has been designing, installing, and harvesting edible landscapes since 2000, here and abroad.
