Interest in rain gardens is growing and we want to help you build your own!
For nearly a decade Green Communities Canada has supported individuals, organisations, businesses and municipalities in adopting green infrastructure practices- including building rain gardens. Rain gardens are loved by many as beautiful and functional gardens that capture water that runs off of hard surfaces, such as driveways, rooftops and walkways. The garden is designed, and specific plants are selected to allow water to infiltrate back into the soil and remove pollutants from the runoff. Rain gardens also provide homes for butterflies and pollinators.
