RAIN GARDENS

A simple explanation of a Rain Garden is a depressed area that is designed to use water that runs off buildings, pavements and other construction during a period of rain. A Rain Garden allows the run-off to be directed into the garden area and be used by flowers, grasses, and shrubs, while naturally filtering contaminates from the water before it re-enters the water table. Rain Gardens are also designed to help lessen the use of artificial irrigation, so we can conserve water. An additional benefit to planting a Rain Garden is that they attract Hummingbirds, Butterflies and Birds.

Listed below are some of the flower and grass seeds that we carry for Rain Gardens. There are many others that we carry that can be used also, but these are the most recommended by local universities and publications on this subject.
