The Rain Garden Handbook for Western Washington Homeowners shows in
a step-by-step manner how to build a rain garden on your property. Rain
gardens mimic an undisturbed forest because they collect and filter
stormwater that carries pollutants harmful to the environment. Rain
gardens are a good fit for existing development, as well as new
development, because they can treat stormwater in areas where there is
no treatment at all.
