We go into detail on their process for redesigning the rain garden while remaining sensitive to the site two massive existing trees a red oak and a sycamore. Learn about how they graded the soils so carefully using an air knife to gently expose the tree roots. Learn about Layne’s design inspiration and how he applied his style of design to the site. Eliana and Layne also work on a statewide initiative to teach homeowners how to build their own rain gardens with the Rainscaping program plus they have been publishing guides for different native garden types. Listen and get inspired and then check out the Rainscaping program to learn how to build your very own rain garden.\n\nWatch us on YouTube https://youtu.be/m62-KWJFL0o \n\nRed Oak Rain Garden (RORG) Website https://redoakraingarden.org/ \nRORG Facebook \nhttps://www.facebook.com/RainGardenUIUC/photos/?ref=page_internal \nRORG Twitter https://twitter.com/RainGardenUIUC \nRORG Instagram https://www.instagram.com/raingardenUIUC/ \n\nRainscaping Education Program https://extension.purdue.edu/rainscaping/ \n\nNative Plant Garden Guides – includes woodland, full sun, rain garden, spring ephemerals, and more! https://iiseagrant.org/resources/publications-products/results/?_sft_creator=c-eliana-brown \n\nWhy a rain garden on campus? \nAt what stage did Eliana bring in Layne to work on the RORG? \nLayne’s feelings about designing a rain garden on University of Illinois campus\nLayne’s approach and inspiration to designing the RORG?
