Read about our rain garden project in today’s Rockford Register Star.

Here are some pictures from Tuesday’s adventure planting a rain garden with Spectrum School students.

Brian Russart from Winnebago County Soil and Water filled buckets with sand and seed.spectrum5.jpg

Here’s what planting looked like from the top of the hill. The students sprinkled their sand-seed mixture in and around hula hoops. spectrum4.jpg
After the seeds were spread, Spectrum students did a buffalo stomp to drive the seeds into the soil.spectrum3.jpg
It was a lot of fun. And a lot of mud.
