0425RAIN-GARDEN-1
A bird bath and feeders accent a rain garden planted with soft green rush, dwarf yaupon hollies, blue flag iris, cranesbill geranium, beardtongue, vernonia, ajuga and purple dome asters.
Rain is a natural resource for your yard. Think of it as pennies from heaven — free moisture that nourishes your plants and nixes high water bills. Ask a master gardener how best to access that rich resource and you are likely to hear “rain garden.”
