A rain garden can also be called a bioretention area, rainwater garden, stormwater garden or biofiltration garden. These gardens are designed to capture and absorb stormwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and other hard surfaces. They are typically filled with native plants that are tolerant of both wet and dry conditions. Rain gardens can help to reduce erosion, filter pollutants, and recharge groundwater. They also create habitat for birds, bees, and other wildlife. Rain gardens have become increasingly popular as a sustainable landscaping feature that can add beauty to a property while also providing environmental benefits.
