Rain gardens are an effective and beautiful way to reduce stormwater runoff, flooding, and water pollution.
A basin structure captures water and allows it to slowly percolate through the soil, recharging groundwater supplies. Plants and soil microbes filter and break down pollutants preventing them from reaching our drinking water.
The gardens are planted entirely with native plants which support local biodiversity, especially pollinators such as bees and butterflies. These plants do not require added fertilizers or pesticides, further protecting our waterways.
