Exploring rain water handling with Gardening Consultants Council

On October 26, 2011 members of the Gardening Consultants Council of the NCA (see photo at right) held a meeting at the Fairlington Community Center in Arlington, Virginia.  Learning about rain gardens and other "green" storm water drainage solutions is key to best assist NCA President Vickie Godwin's project for 5 rain gardens at the US National Arboretum.    Speaker Christin Jolicoeur of the Arlington County Department of Environmental Services gave a very enlightening talk.  Members were able to enjoy a rain garden at the community center.
For more information about rain gardens check out the Arlington County Rain Garden webpage that shares some really useful information as well as includes the Montgomery County Rainscapes information.
