Why Rain Gardens?
A rain garden is a simple, attractive and eco-friendly way to manage surface water runoff in your garden. By using a shallow, planted depression, it captures rainwater from roofs, driveways, and patios, allowing it to slowly infiltrate into the ground instead of discharging into the drainage network. This reduces local flooding by reducing reliance on stormwater systems.
The plants in a rain garden also help filter pollutants, improving water quality. Beyond the environmental benefits, rain gardens support pollinators, add visual interest, and can increase biodiversity in your outdoor space. It’s a practical, low-maintenance solution that makes your garden more resilient and sustainable.
