SUMMARY:Rain Garden Plants That Attract Pollinators and Birds
DESCRIPTION:When we get a lot of rain\, are there areas in your yard that stay soggy?  Or maybe you’re trying to accumulate and infilrate runoff in a raingarden? What plants work best?  Come on May 2 and find out from an expert! \nNEIGHBORS OF THE NORTHWEST BRANCH PRESENTS \nWHAT: Rain Garden Plants That Attract Pollinators and Birds \nWHEN: Wednesday\, May 2\, 7:30 – 9:15 p.m. \nWHO: Christopher Lewis\, Certified Professional Horticulturist \nWHERE: White Oak Library\, 11701 New Hampshire Avenue\, Silver Spring \nMore info:  A wet site could just be low or perhaps at the bottom of a swale that drains water from other properties. The soil may be compacted following construction. Or the land may be wet with a high water table.  If your property stays wet 24 hours after heavy rains\, or if water stays 24 hours in a 2-foot hole\, then wet soil plants are for you.  Plant roots need oxygen to grow. Roots immersed in too much water will rot\, causing plants to die.  Chris will show us plants that are native yet deer resistant\, that attract pollinators and birds\, and that have adapted to such moist conditions. \nChristopher Lewis grew up on a farm in Howard County. His geology studies at Susquehanna University in PA led to work in the oil fields of Louisiana\, then as a supervisor of construction at BWI Airport. But eventually Chris decided to pursue his life-long love of growing plants.  He studied horticulture at the USDA Graduate School and entered the Montgomery County Master Gardener program.  From 2005 to the present he has worked at Behnkes\, where he manages the garden shop.  At home\, Chris tends his garden and his bee hives\, pursuing his passion for edibles and native plants.  Much more satisfying than searching for oil!  Chris is a Certified Professional Horticulturist\, is also certified in Integrated Pest Management\, and completed Montgomery County’s Beekeeper training. \nPlease join us on May 2 to discover what a wide variety of plants will fill the wet spot need!  Light refreshments.  And note that we will finally be back in our traditional meeting place\, the White Oak Library!  It will be good to be home! \nhttps://neighborsnwb.org/events-1 \n
