The participants then helped install a rain garden at the Carver Community Center. Many thanks to RiverLink and the NC Cooperative Extension for their help in coordinating and teaching the workshop, to Montessori School for use of their classroom and tables and to Public Works for doing the hard work of digging the hole for the rain garden.
