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. 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 will receive Master Rain Gardener garden gloves for completing the class!​

MRG Certification Requirements


​To receive the Master Rain Gardener Certification, students are required to:
  • Complete the all 5 days of 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 t-shirt, and Rain Garden yard sign!
