[Winona Online Democracy] Many thanks to John Finn for alerting us to this article. This year Winona County Master Gardeners are focusing on promoting water quality. Rain gardens are not only important to divert parking lot runoff, but also to homeowners who wish to divert runoff. The greater the impervious surface, the greater the need for a way to capture that runoff before it makes its way via our storm sewers to Lake Winona or other body of water.
In addition, Pat Bailey, a Winona County Water Plan Coordinator, will speak at the Winona County Historical Society on Wednesday, July 16 at noon to discuss ways in which we can protect our local waters. This event is free and open to the public. Please attend this event and contact me or another Winona County Master Gardener if you would like more information about rain gardens.
