Several members joined the Wilmette Park District staff to plant a rain garden in Shorewood Park, Wilmette. A Rain Garden will reduce flooding by capturing excess water to keep the park and streets from pooling. It also provides food and shelter for bees, butterflies and birds using native plants. It was a very muddy operation of digging holes and planting species that thrive in water-drenched areas. George Pearce, Ben Ivory, Terry Porter and Debora Morris got muddy and assisted.
