Rain Gardens Gardening

Rain

Rain gardens are landscaped areas, usually planted with native plants, that make use of rainwater runoff in the yard.For the gardener, rain gardens reclaim rainwater and result in more rainwater soaking into the ground. This also reduces the amount of stormwater runoff carrying pollution and debris into nearby lakes and waterways and helps reduce local flooding.
