Create a Rain Garden in your Landscape

A rain garden is a specially designed depression that absorbs rainwater runoff. When rainwater flows into the garden, it gradually seeps through layers of soil and plant roots. This process helps remove pollutants, such as fertilizers, pesticides, and oil residue, from the water before it enters the groundwater system. The plants in the rain garden also absorb excess nutrients, further purifying the water. Melanie will demonstrate how to plant a rain garden in your landscape, showcasing its beauty and its many environmental benefits.
