A Photo Journey of our Rain Garden

How did we go from a soaked spot along our driveway to this?

The blueprint goes from paper to land
Soil tests measuring percolation rates, and a careful selection of native plants, trees, and woody shrubs
Depression added

Construction of a weir and an ouflow drain
Carefully planting those plants where they are best suited
Within hours, it saw its first soaking rain storm
