LID and Rain Garden Basics: The ‘What’ and ‘Why’
Friday, November 3, 2023 | 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CDT
- LID (low impact development) – aka rainscaping – is about capturing rain where it falls, holding it, and soaking it in
- There isn’t one ‘big lever’ to deal with today’s more severe rain events
- Methods of capturing and infiltrating runoff: infiltration trenches to bioswales
- Dealing with raindrops where they fall is key to reducing flooding and taking stress off municipal infrastructure
- Getting buy-in from the public

How to Build Rain Gardens: Lessons from an Expert
Friday, November 10, 2023 | 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CST
- Knowledge on LID (low impact development) is growing and evolving quickly; e.g. should an engineered medium be used, or should we work with existing soils
- Sizing calculations and infiltration
- Tests, ‘rules’ of where to put these features and on what time frame they should work
- Potential and subtle mistakes to be made: how to identify and avoid them?
- Construction details

Choosing Plants and Specifics of Planting
Friday, November 17, 2023 | 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CST
- LID (low impact development) can/should beautify neighborhoods and enhance biodiversity
- It should be effective and beautiful and plants are a big part of that
- The potential beauty of rain gardens determines whether the public embraces them or not and society needs them
- A major focus is aesthetics
- Planting/mulching are the final steps
- How to do it properly involves tiny details
