Rain Gardens for Nashville

Rain Gardens For Nashville: Cumberland River Compact is partnering with the Mayor Dean's Impact Nashville Initiative and neighborhood groups to plant rain gardens on residential properties. This will help reduce downstream flooding and improve water quality. Volunteers will also instruct the homeowner on the benefits of the rain garden and on-going maintenance. Nashville is doing it right! http://cumberlandrivercompact.org/programs_rainbarrels.shtml#rain

 Yesterday Starbucks sponsored Cumberland River Compact in the making of rain barrels for Nashville.  Volunteers gathered in the parking lot; it was a hot and humid day but I did help out for a bit until the heat got the best of me.
