The Rain Garden

Rain gardens are a relatively new innovation for southern landscapes. They are designed to capture and absorb storm water run-off flowing across landscapes. Our Rain Garden is an example of a home landscape garden that helps us recycle water by returning it to our groundwater reserves. Our design includes a beautifully-shaped retention area containing and bordered by various perennials that are adapted to extremes in soil moisture.
