Do you have a depressed area in your garden that constantly collects water? If so, plant a rain garden! This will stop the flow of unhealthy amounts of water runoff, help solve your drainage problems, and provide a refuge for wildlife!
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that, “Runoff from stormwater continues to be a major cause of water pollution in urban areas.” Rain gardens can help stop this pollution.
A rain garden contains flowering perennials and grasses that thrive on lots of water. They soak up the water, filter out pollutants and reduce runoff from your landscape.
Additionally, these rain gardens offer shelter and food for butterflies, birds, and other creatures.
