A rain garden is a garden that lies below the level of its surroundings, designed to absorb rainwater that runs off a surface, such as a patio or roof.
By allowing rainwater to infiltrate through a rain garden rather than enter the stormwater system, we can reduce flooding in our neighborhoods and protect aquatic habitat by reducing erosion and pollution in our creeks and streams.
