What are the benefits of a rain garden?
A rain garden promotes water infiltration and recharges groundwater, thus reducing runoff and reducing potential pollutants entering the waterways. They are aesthetically pleasing and inviting to wildlife habitat such as butterflies and birds. Another advantage of rain gardens is low maintenance; once established, rain gardens are nearly maintenance free.
