Salt Creek Watershed representatives demonstrate a rain garden at Forest Park public golf course in Valparaiso Thursday morning. The rain garden, one of several being installed at the golf course, is designed to combat run-off and improve water quality by allowing water to pool and infiltrate the groundwater supply while being filtered through the vegetation in the garden.
