What is a Rain Garden?
A rain garden is a landscaped depression which takes full advantage of rainfall and stormwater runoff in its design and plant selection. Rain gardens allow runoff to slowly infiltrate to the groundwater table, removing some of the pollutants that would otherwise end up in our waterways. Rain gardens have become popular and attractive methods for property owners to decrease the impact of their impervious surfaces. Rain gardens, like any garden, also support habitat for bees, birds and butterflies.
A perfect example would be the Town of Bluffton's rain garden located at Dubois Park.
