YardScaping Demonstration Site Workshop: Groundcover Plants and Bioswales

$0.00

RESCHEDULED: Tuesday, June 17th
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District | 35 Main Street, Windham, Maine

Are you interested in learning about how you can prevent erosion and retain moisture in your own yard while saving time? Join us for a workshop covering the benefits of implementing groundcover plants and bioswales at your home! A groundcover is a low-growing plant with dense foliage, typically spreading wider than they are tall.

The instructor will also review the benefits of implementing a bioswale, which is a shallow channel filled in with tall and dense vegetative cover. They convey stormwater runoff while slowing velocity, filtering pollutants, and encouraging groundwater infiltration.

Additional topics covered will include the best plants for erosion control, how to perform a percolation test, seed sowing, and tips on mowing and maintenance.

This workshop will begin inside learning about how to successfully utilize these conservation techniques with the second half spent outside in our demonstration garden. Gardening tools and materials will be provided.

Bring your favorite pair of gardening gloves and prepare to get your hands dirty!
