We offered experiential rainscaping workshops in 2015 as part of the Deer Creek Speaker Series! This series of workshops offered attendees a chance to gain knowledge on a broad range of topics including rainscaping design and maintenance and more through participating in hands-on activities in the classrooms and on the campus of Mary Institute and Country Day School "MICDS". The workshops were open to the public, and there was no cost involved.
In November 2017, we were pleased to bring Dr. Elaine Ingham, internationally acclaimed soil microbiologist, to St. Louis as a continuation of this series.
