Everyone shares in the benefits of rain gardens:
- Add beauty and variety to your yard, improvement to the property
- Reduce flooding and erosion in your property and neighborhood
- Provide habitat and food for birds and pollinators
- Recharge local groundwater aquifers
- Reduce lawn maintenance - less mowing, watering, and use of chemicals
- Filter pollutants before they reach ditches and eventually, streams and larger bodies of water
- Reduce strain on stormwater systems by intercepting runoff that would otherwise go directly into drains
- Connect you to your community
