Port Hope Public Library is the place to be this month to find out about rain gardens.
There will be two presenters will be featured including local rain garden advocate Signe Langford.
The thrust of the presentation is to raise awareness of the impact runoff is having on the region’s waterways like Lake Ontario and the Ganaraska River.
Rain gardens are one line of defence against contaminated runoff.
Experts say rain gardens can also prevent flooding – something insurance companies are rewarding by offering discounts to property owners who maintain a well constructed rain garden.
The free presentation is Saturday, May 13th from 1 to 3 p.m.
The first 30 guests will receive a packet of native Ontario seeds to plant this spring.
