A rain garden is a planted depression or a hole that allows rainwater runoff from impervious urban areas, like roofs, driveways, walkways, parking lots, and compacted lawn areas, the opportunity to be absorbed. This reduces rain runoff by allowing stormwater to soak into the ground (as opposed to flowing into storm drains and surface waters which causes erosion, water pollution, flooding, and diminished groundwater). They should be designed for specific soils and climates. The purpose of a rain garden is to improve water quality in nearby bodies of water and to ensure that rainwater becomes available for plants as groundwater rather than being sent through stormwater drains straight out to sea. Rain gardens can cut down on the amount of pollution reaching creeks and streams by up to 30%.
Rain gardens are specially-designed ABC Waters features that use plants and soil to naturally treat rainwater runoff, and slow down their discharge into nearby drains and canals. They also help to beautify the landscape and provide habitats for wildlife - isn't that neat? 🌾

I saw this really great stormwater garden.
Here’s an example of a really nice parking lot rain garden / water retention basin. This one utilized native plants and good engineering to capture rainwater and stormwater runoff from the surrounding impervious lots. This rain garden helps reduce flooding by slowing the water going to the sewers and allowing a lot of water to sink into the ground. The roots of the plants also helps reduce pollutants. We need more of these things everywhere!

How to Install a Rain Garden in 10 Easy Steps
Learn how to install your own rain garden in ten easy steps with Melinda Myers. From installation to maintenance, this video will show you all the necessary actions to make your rain garden beautiful and helpful to the environment. Rain gardens collect and absorb rain and melting snow into the ground rather than into your basement and help keep pollutants out of our local waterways.

A rain garden is a shallow garden with enhanced soils and a rock reservoir designed to collect rainwater from roadways, parking lots or other hard surfaces. They can be planted with a combination of shrubs, grasses and flowers.
Compared to a similar sized patch of lawn, a rain garden allows for 30% more water to soak into the ground!
