A Rain garden functions like a native forest to help slow, soak up, and filter polluted urban runoff from downspouts, driveways, parking lots and other hard surfaces. Typically, a rain garden is a shallow recessed surface containing flowers, small trees, shrubs and grasses designed to tolerate wet winters and dry summers.
