A special guest on Yard Talk TV Program--me!
Green Roofs and Rain Gardens
The daffodils are in full bloom, the trees have buds, and my hydrangea and dogwood shrubs are starting to leaf out. It's spring! And spring is a great time to think about your garden....or the garden you have planned. Rain gardens and other water harvesting strategies are easier than you might think to implement in your own yard.
Check out King County TV's newest episode, "Green Roofs and Rain Gardens," to learn about environmentally-friendly water harvesting practices you can implement in your own yard.....and see me talk about the rain garden in my front yard.
You'll see me interviewed (toward the end of the episode) as I talk about the rain garden that was installed in my own Ballard garden as part of a Seattle Public Utilities pilot program called RainCatchers.
The 16 minute episode can be viewed here. In the segment on my yard, you'll also see shots of my native plant garden, flower garden, and herb garden...all of which are pesticide-free and grown using organic mulch and compost. The plants are watered with soaker hoses and water collected in my rain barrel and 500-gallon cistern that collect rainwater from my roof.
Post a comment to this blog post and let me know what you are doing in your own yard to protect the environment. I'd love to hear it.
