How would you build a Rain Garden in a tiered front yard? ⛈️⛈️⛈️

We've built a garden system that utilizes 3 rain absorbing features! 😀

First the water flows into a Permeable Path, once filled it flows through two Dry River Beds into the Rain Basin below.

🌿 Check out the comments for a list of native plants used in this garden system :)

Not everyone has a huge front yard, but everyone can have a rain garden! 🌧

For Small-Space Rain Gardens: use rain water as a natural irrigation system for your plants, and absorb as much as your yard will allow. 🌻

Make sure to create outlets so your garden doesn't take on more water than it can hold.

🌱 Not every garden can do everything, but every garden can do something.

Our suburban neighbourhood was skeptical of our native rain garden, but now they love it!

Native gardens:
💚 Are not "no maintenance. They need care and tending for a curated look.
💚 Don't need the perfect plan. You're free to change things as they grow in.
💚 Are loved by our wildlife and our neighbours!
