    Rain Garden Manual

    Why build a rain garden?
    Rain gardens are highly engineered to provide environmental benefits, but don't let that fool you.
    They are also beautifully landscaped garden features that:
    • Enhance the landscaping and appearance of homes and yards
    • Provide habitat for beneficial insects and birds
    • Filter oil and grease from driveways, pesticides, and fertilizers from lawns, and other pollutants before they reach groundwater or the storm drain and eventually streams, wetlands, lakes and marine waters
