RAINScaping @ Home - Pictures and information

Hello all!

Finally, some pictures from our RAINScaping at Home workshop (August 20th 2011)! Also, click here to download a document which covers most of what we learned in our workshop. Written by the workshop facilitator, Peter van Vliet. Peter's company, Village Water Services, run with his business partner, Barb Danielewski, is available for rainscaping consultation and design. Please visit their website for more information.

The pictures!

Peter explaining how to do a percolation test in our soil; finding out how long it takes for water to drain through soil is the first step in building systems to manage your storm water runoff.

Brooke with a measuring tape - to calculate the amount of water running off your roof, you've got to measure it first!

More measuring!

The workshop moves inside!

It's like actual school! We learned a lot....

And back outside to check out the unattached rain barrel... not doing anyone any good!
