  • Join to access all included materials

Now it's time for all of the data collected in previous lessons to be applied to the design of a rain garden. This resource can only be used as part of the greater whole, since learners will need to rely on gathered knowledge in order to reliably make decisions about the garden's design. Each group shares their proposal with the rest of the class, and favorite features of each are incorporated into a final design.
