Do you have drainage issues in your yard? Would you like expert landscaping advice and possible financial help? Are you ready to make a change to your landscape or interested in learning more? This presentation from Ann English, Montgomery County’s RainScapes program manager, will show you examples of RainScapes that can help better manage stormwater, help the local ecology, and create beauty on your property. There are many resources on the website www.RainScapes.org, including information about the RainScapes Rewards program that will begin taking new applications Feb. 2.

Our speaker, Ann English, is a landscape architect who is both a designer and teacher who combines planting design and engineering. Under her direction, the RainScapes program has developed into a model for private property retrofits for stormwater management using green infrastructure practices that include the use of many native plants.

Engllish holds a B.A. in American history from the University of Pennsylvania and a masters degrees in both regional planning from Pennsylvania State University and landscape architecture from the University of Georgia. During her graduate work, she studied historic planting design on the water section of the Approach Road of the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina.
