How Is a Rain Garden Built?
Create a natural, shallow depression and fill it with native plants. It is important for the garden to slope away from the house, be large enough so that it does not over-spill the edges, permeable enough so that water does not pool for days, and vegetated so the water is returned to earth cleaner. Do not use any pesticides in or around this garden, as the insects and nematodes are necessary for soil permeability.

Choose the Right Plants
The right plants are natives, which are resistant to the stress from both temporarily standing water and dry periods between rainfalls. Their large and power root structures are essential in order to absorb and cleanse the rainfall and runoff. It is advisable to use a variety of plants to make your garden more effective.
