Page 1 of 3 Rain Garden - 400 sf Divine Creations Hair Salon 3095 Old Hollow Rd Walkertown, NC Divine Creations Rain gardens are a fun and inexpensive way to improve water quality and enhance the beauty of your yard or business. Rain gardens are placed between stormwater runoff sources (roofs, driveways, parking lots) and runoff destinations (storm drains, streets, streams). A rain garden is a shallow depression in the ground that captures runoff from your driveway or roof and allows it to soak into the ground, rather than running across roads, capturing pollutants, and delivering them to a stream. Plants and soil work together to absorb and filter pollutants and return cleaner water through the ground to nearby streams. Rain gardens also reduce localized flooding by sending the water back underground, rather than into the street. Besides helping water quality and reducing flooding, rain garden plants provide habitat for beneficial insects and wildlife! Forsyth County Cooperative Extension provides a hands-on workshop on how to install rain gardens that covers how to design, install and maintain a rain garden. If you're looking for funding assistance, Forsyth Soil and Water Conservation District has a cost-share program, CCAP, to help if your property meets certain criteria.
