To help manage stormwater, Johnson County is partnering with the Geoscience Academy through Olathe Public Schools for a series of workshops on rain barrels and rain gardens.

This series for Johnson County residents will focus on how homeowners can conserve and use stormwater in their yards, gardens and flower beds.

The workshop on Thursday, May 4 is geared toward rain gardens. Participants can register to win one of 20 free rain garden kits.

The workshop will take place at Olathe North High School, 600 E Prairie St., Olathe, KS 66061. Sign up for the rain garden workshop from 6-8 p.m.
