Rain Gardens at TWC
The next time you visit TWC, be sure to stop and enjoy our new rain gardens. The Stark Soil and Water Conservation District helped build two rain garden displays at TWC to be used as educational tools. Many thanks also go out to Beaver Excavating Company for the digging, and to Ohio Native Plant Society for providing a grant for educational signage.
