5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Part of the Parks and Greenspace Conference, this tour of Sugar Creek Garden will focus on its integration of green infrastructure (sustainable and natural management techniques that harvest, treat and utilize rain runoff in greenspaces). Participants will be shown an innovative, off-the-grid pump system and will learn about water conservation through active and passive rainwater harvesting; these water harvesting techniques are applicable to home and landscapes of all scales. The tour will be led by Wylde Center’s Sugar Creek Garden manager Dara Suchke. Local rain water harvest experts Paul Morgan, Daniel Ballard, and Benjamin Portwood will also be present to add insight to the passive and active rainwater designs currently on-site and in the future designs for the property. Registration is just $20 and space is limited! *Park Pride’s 25th Anniversary Kick-off Event will take place immediately following this tour at Solarium. There is no additional charge to attend this kick-off event!* Sugar Creek Garden is located in the floodplain behind the Oakhurst Presbyterian Church; approximate GPS address is 415 East Lake Dr., Decatur, GA 30030
