Rain Gardens

Does anyone have experience building a Rain Garden? We have a great to design and create one on campus.

If you're interested, we can share our process with your school as well.

    To piggyback off of this, has anyone built an outdoor classroom at their school? or know of anyone who has?

    What do you  mean about an outdoor classroom?  Is that more than doing some of the activities outside?  You definitely have my attention.

    Todd Nussen , I'm not sure what other people mean, but I am talking about either growing things, like a community garden. Or cultivating and tending to plants in an outdoor space, like a park. Various classes of mine have done some park things, but it never got off the ground as much as I would have liked. 

    In my current school, our director has talked about getting the kids together to plant some shrubs or perennial flowers and such. I'd like to have them design and foster a plan, not just do the labor.

    Ok, I gotcha.  Sounds like an excellent experience for students.  I know we have a botany club in our school that takes care of a lot of that but it would be nice to get a project like that going for my students. Thanks for the explanation.
