Rain Garden Manual (pdf) contains detailed instructions on
how to build a rain garden. Rain gardens are landscaped areas
planted with wild flowers and other native vegetation that soak up rain
water, mainly from the roof of a house or other building. The rain
garden fills with a few inches of water after a storm and the water
slowly filters into the ground rather than running off to a storm drain.
Compared to a conventional patch of lawn, a rain garden allows about 30%
more water to soak into the ground.
