Native Plantings for Rain Gardens
A rain garden is an inexpensive, bowl-shaped garden that, through the actions of spongy living soils and properly chosen plants, slows, filters, and absorbs runoff from roofs or pavement keeping it from becoming harmful storm water pollution. Rain gardens are a smart and proven way of using beautiful landscaping to: clean our lakes and waterways, and protect our precious natural habitats. For more information, click on RAIN GARDENS.
