Free Rain Garden Workshop at City Hall

In partnership

with the City of Petaluma, Daily Acts is hosting a free rain garden workshop at City Hall on November 16, 2013 from 12:00

to 4:00pm. This hands-on workshop will teach participants about water-wise

landscapes, and how to design and install a rain garden.    

Serena Estes,

Enhancement Specialist and Estate Manager of Equinox Landscaping, will lead the

workshop.  She brings over a decade of

experience in transforming lawns to ecological landscapes.  Serena’s award winning expertise and commitment

to sustainable practices will stretch your knowledge and skills. 


In 2009, 25,000

square feet of water intensive turf surrounding City Hall was transformed into

a dynamic, water-harvesting model, complete with community gardens, water

catchment, a bioswale and native and edible plants. The landscape provides both

food and habitat, while demonstrating innovative water saving techniques.  If you’re eager to step up your water-saving

skills, this workshop is for you!
