Tips for Planning and Installing a Rain Garden Before beginning your project, consider the following: ▪ Nothing beats firsthand experience, which can be acquired by participating in a hands-on rain garden workshop, or by volunteering with a community or school rain garden installation project. Instructional videos are also helpful, and rain garden and rain barrel installation videos are featured on the Video Gallery page at www. RainScaping. org. ▪ When designing your rain garden, consider keeping it simple. While rain gardens can have several species of plants, they can also have bold impact with just three or four plant species. If you decide to use several herbaceous flowering perennials and grasses, moist meadows (unlike formal planting arrangements) allow more freedom with plant selection and maintenance (less concern about plants migrating to where they weren t originally planted). ▪ When creating the rain garden design, place trees first, shrubs second, then place perennial

LAMORINDA WEEKLY | Maya McBride s Rain Garden Published March 30st, 2010 Maya McBride s Rain Garden By Andrea A. Firth Maya McBride reading to her son Kieran Photo Andy Scheck In 2003, Maya McBride and her husband made the move east out of Berkeley to Orinda and bought what she describes as the quintessential rancher replete with a backyard shaded by tall cedar and redwood trees and covered with ivy and Bermuda grass. "It was so dark and creepy," says Maya, admitting that she has an aversion to spiders and ticks. She began to brainstorm ways to introduce light and new plant life to create a friendly backyard haven for her growing family, which now includes three boys ages 10, 7, and 4 years along with an old cat named Rosie. Maya quickly encountered a stumbling block to her landscape remodeling plans. When it rained water pooled in a large dirt area in the yard. She subsequently learned that the prior owner of the home must have faced the same problem. Back in the 1950 s, he had

ThisNebGuidediscussesbutterfliesandtheirrelatives and the plants that will help attract them to a garden. Butterflies can be found throughout Nebraska, from the coniferous forests of the Pine Ridge, through the grasslands of the Sandhills, to the deciduous forests along the Missouri River. Like bird watching or observing wildflowers, watching butterflies is a popular and enjoyable pastime. Although many natural butterfly habitats have been lost to urbanization and agriculturaldevelopment,conservationofthesebeautifulinsects has been incorporated into numerous programs and projects. Many individuals also are taking a personal interest in attracting these fascinating insects to their gardens. By choosing the right plants, you can attract many different butterflies, moths and skippers, adding an ever-changing mural of color and motion to your landscape. Butterflies, moths and skippers belong to the insect order Lepidoptera, with moths comprising the largest percentage. Skippers are most of

Showcase Conservation Iowa School for the Deaf Ready for Rain Iowa School for the Deaf (ISD) in Council Bluffs is taking a proactive approach to managing storm water on their campus, and teachers are educating their students about the water quality benefits of the infiltration-based management practices the school is adopting. In the early 1990s, ISD constructed an outdoor education environment with a 20-acre nature center on the north side of campus, along U. S. Highway 92. The nature center includes a wetland site, tall grass prairie, a wildflower plot, a one-mile walking trail and a 50-foot tall windmill. As the years passed, one thing was missing from the nature center – water. “From a general appearance, it wasn’t what we wanted,” said Rich Connell, facilities director for ISD. Dale DuVal, district conservationist with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Council Bluffs, says the lack of water in the wetland was due to the area’s soil type and lack of
