Welcome back to Peas in a Podcast! This episode is all about rain gardens.

If you've ever wondered about the funny-looking patch of plants on the southeast corner of the botanical center, this is the episode for you! It turns out, there's a lot more to this garden than meets the eye. And rain gardens can help tell a much bigger story about water safety and conservation.  

Featured in this episode is Katie Keith, botanical center coordinator and John Harms, professor of sociology at MSU. Thank you both for your contributions!
