What is a Rain Garden?

Rain gardens help reduce water pollution by collecting rain mainly from roofs, driveways, or other hard surfaces, and absorbing the water into the ground naturally. They are typically planted with wildflowers or native plants that have deep roots, which help to soak up more water. They can be placed near downspouts on homes (although away from building foundations and sewer laterals), and offer many benefits.

What are the Benefits of Rain Gardens?

• Beautify your yard and neighborhood
• Help protect our streams and Lake Michigan from pollution by reducing stormwater runoff
• Reduce the risk of flooding and drainage problems
• Provide habitat for pollinators and birds
