Control rainwater runoff beautifully with Park's carefree rain garden plants! Eco-friendly rain gardens absorb runoff, filter out pollutants, and recharge groundwater to protect watersheds and help prevent flooding by reducing pressure on stormwater drains.
Tips for a Successful Rain Garden:
Site your rain garden in a depression or low-lying area in your lawn where rainwater naturally collects, or create one by digging out a shallow basin.
Locate your rain garden at least 10 feet away from your house to prevent water from collecting close to your foundation.
Keep it simple - use low-care natives and plants that can take alternating periods of wet and dry soil.
The size of your rain garden should be in proportion to the amount of rainwater you'll be collecting.
Until plants are fully established, make sure to water them during extremely long dry periods.
