Rain Gardens
Several months ago I posted about a little garden I saw at West Meade Middle School and was impressed at the care that was being given to educate students with hands-on ecology lessons. Today I got an email from Mekayle Houghton, the Program Director for Cumberland River Compact and she gave me a little more information about their Rain Gardens For Nashville website. Did you know that teachers can go to their website and download Lesson plans for grades K-12 to help them teach about rain gardens? They also have a Resource Guide that you can download for planning, designing, and maintaining a rain garden. Even if you aren't lucky enough to live in Nashville ;) you can still learn a lot about creating a rain garden from this site.

thank you for your blog - i have been visiting and getting ideas for a garden in our new home we about to start building. amazing pictures.
Interest is what his name and of what kind? This gave me an idea for what to plant this season.
What a good project. I have a friend who just had her yard re-landscaped to a "natural" yard (I think she spent about 6,000. to go natural) Anyway, a big part of it was her new rain garden to control the pour drainage layout.
