"“I like the idea of contributing to help the water problem. Sometimes you think there’s nothing you can really do to help these kinds of things, so becoming RainWise was great!”"

Project Summary

Karen worked with RainWise contractor, The People’s Gardening Collective, to install a rain garden in 2018. She first contacted PCG after removing several large rhododendrons in her front yard and thought, “now what”? PGC recommended a RainWise rain garden and walked her through the process from beginning to end. The entire project spanned over several months, but the installation only took about a week. Once the rain garden was in, it snowed and rained. Nancy was able to see her new rain garden in action and was impressed at how fast it drained, despite February weather.

Thank you, Karen, for being a part of the RainWise program!
