I have been hearing a lot about rain gardens lately. What are they?
Rain gardens are usually planted in a depression and are designed to help slow excess rainwater runoff from impervious surfaces. They generally take advantage of plants that can tolerate saturated soils as well as drier conditions between rainfalls. If you are interested in creating a rain garden in your yard, there are several books and websites on the subject that you can consult, or feel free to call our landscape department.
