Detail:
Rain gardens intercept rain and slow runoff by increasing the amount of stormwater that filters into the ground. This talk introduces the concept, practices and rewards of rain gardening to benefit both the homeowner and the community. Gardeners know that plants thrive on rainwater, which also constantly recharges groundwater and drinking water supplies. However, natural patterns of rainwater catchment are disrupted when development removes trees and other vegetation, alters lands formations, and creates impervious surfaces. Stormwater runoff creates serious problems of flooding, pollution and erosion of streams, and loss of water recharge into the environment. Learn tips you can use for creating a rain garden that will help reduce some of these problems
