<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>Lecture – Monday, July 13, 6:30 pm-8 pm</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>Tour – Tuesday, July 21, 5 pm – 7 pm</em></strong></span></p>
<p>Freshwater is precious to living things and it is becoming increasingly scarce due to misuse, pollution, and climate change. Rain gardens are a beautiful way to help keep clean, fresh rainwater out of the sewer system and to reduce pollution and preserve our water systems. Further, a rain garden can support threatened pollinators when they include native plants vital to pollinating insects and birds. And you don't have to be a scientist or ecologist to establish a successful rain garden. </p>
<p>The Champaign County Master Gardeners and the East Central Illinois Master Naturalists invite you to learn more about rain gardens at the following events:</p>
<p><strong>Rain Garden lecture on Monday, July 13 6:30-8:00pm, UI Extension Auditorium, 801 N. Country Fair Drive, Champaign, IL 61821</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rain Garden tour on Tuesday, July 21 5:00-7:00pm, Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation, 302 N 1st St, Champaign, IL 61820</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Rain Garden tour will be limited to 40 participants and requires attendance at the Rain Garden lecture.</strong><strong> </strong>Participants will be expected to carpool in groups of four or more from the starting location (Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation).</p>
