We recognize that not everyone can build a rain garden on their own property, so you can also become certified by participating in a public rain garden installation or volunteering at a public rain garden.Upon certification, you'll receive a Master Rain Gardener t-shirt, sign, and certificate (included in the cost of registration).What is a Rain Garden?Rain gardens work with natrue to collect and filter rainwater that runs off impervious surfaces like rooftops and driveways. Impervious surfaces lead to increases in surface runoff and often result in increased flooding and stream bank erosion. As water travels over imperivous surfaces it also has the potential to pick-up pollutants. Polluted stormwater runoff enters our rivers and lakes and is one of the leading threats to water quality in the United States. Rain gardens naturally manage stormwater by infiltrating precipitation and allowing it to soak into the ground rather than sending it directly to storm sewers and nearby streams untreated. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/huron/master-rain-gardener-program-in-person-residential-certification/100001982464216839 - **Event Categories**: workshops, volunteering - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 85, max: 85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Huron - **state**: OH - **country**: United States - **location**: Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve - **lat**: 41.3797421 - **long**: -82.50700899999998 - **full address**: Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, 2514 Cleveland Road East, Huron, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Master Rain Gardener Program: In-Person Residential Certification - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ad16bcbf412e631a6f04f840d7b510496a7e6ce32fab1e860f6473c95d13d6a6-rimg-w1200-h602-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1770589867 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Master Rain Gardener Program: In-Person Residential Certification being held? - **A:** Master Rain Gardener Program: In-Person Residential Certification takes place on Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, 2514 Cleveland Road East, Huron, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Master Rain Gardener Program: In-Person Residential Certification? - **A:** Master Rain Gardener Program: In-Person Residential Certification is organized by Erie Conservation District. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
