Rain Gardens work for us in several ways:
*Helping sustain adequate flows in streams during dry spells;
*Providing valuable wildlife habitat;
*Enhancing the beauty of your yard and the neighborhood;
*Helping protect communities from flooding and drainage problems;
*Helping protect streams and lakes from damaging flows and reducing
erosion of the streambanks and lakeshores; and,
*Reducing the need for costly municipal storm water treatment structures.
