Master Rain Gardener Certification Course

In partnership with Cuyahoga Soil & Water Conservation District and Lake County Soil & Water Conservation District, Chagrin River Watershed Partners will again be offering the virtual Master Rain Gardener certification course for residents and professionals within Northeast Ohio.

This program will be held over a 6-week period. Participants will learn how to design, install, and maintain residential rain gardens. This course offers two track options: one for residential rain gardeners, and one for professionals. The Residential Certification track is geared toward homeowners who would like to install a rain garden in their own yard and become their neighborhood’s expert on rain gardens! The Professional Certification track is geared toward landscape professionals and contractors looking to install rain gardens professionally on residential properties. All graduates will receive a Master Rain Gardener certification, t-shirt, and yard sign.

The 2025 Master Rain Gardener certification course will begin on January 27th and consists of pre-recorded webinars that can be watched at your convenience within the course timeline. Optional, live Q&A sessions are held weekly where participants can receive customized instructor feedback on homework.

Registration is now open! For more information about this program or to register, please see the attached flyers, or visit our website here: neomasterraingardener.org
