MILTON — National Estuary Week is Sept. 17-24. To celebrate the week, attorney Dan Stewart and the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences will present a demonstration rain garden.

The event is 5:30-6:30 pm. Sept. 21 at 6708 Beaudry Lane in Milton. Families are welcome to visit and learn about rain gardens, local estuaries and how to help protect these resources.

"It is as simple as placing an oyster shell in the water or a plant in the ground."
