RAIN GARDEN PLANTER WORKSHOP

Cayden and Damian from Dair class participated in a rain garden planter workshop in the Glen Community Garden on Thursday, the 26th of September.

This workshop was organised by Julie and Barry. 

A Rain Garden Planter is a planter which is watered by the run off from the roof gutters. This is a sustainable planting solution which helps reduce rainwater overflow into the drains and flooding in urban areas.

Mary, Stephen and the pupils in the Post Primary Dair class hope to bring the rain garden planter that we made in the workshop back to the school and set it up and plant it.

We hope to roll out this project and make many more rain garden planters over the course of the school year.
