Course Overview

---

The MRG course is a 5 day course that takes place over 6 weeks. During the course, students are guided through the rain garden design and installation process by experienced regional professionals. Homework is assigned after each class, so by the final day, students will have created their own custom ready-to-go rain garden plan, complete with location, size, and planting design! 
Students receive Master Rain Gardener garden gloves to get them a kick start on the installation process!​

MRG Certification Requirements

---

​To receive the Master Rain Gardener Certification, students are required to:

• Complete the MRG course
• Build their Rain Garden
• If building a rain garden is not an option, students may volunteer to maintain/rehab an existing rain garden for 1 year as a substitute (instructors will help pair students with an appropriate rain garden).

Once a student has completed these things, they will be awarded their Master Rain Gardener Certification, a MRG tshirt, and Rain Garden yard sign!
