Right now you’re probably asking yourself “What is a rain garden?” Well, a rain garden is simply a flower garden that incorporates shallow depressions or channels that intercept rainwater on its way to stream and river beds. These gardens help eliminate pollutants, control erosion and prevent flooding, and does all of this while adding the beauty of plants and flowers to your landscape. You can place rain gardens near downspouts, driveways, sump pump outlets, or in the path of storm water flow through your yard.
The Rain Garden Initiative is a cost share program that will offer you up to $250 to install a rain garden on your property. Nevertheless, don’t delay. This program is only available to six residents, so if you want an environmentally friendly way to improve poor drainage in your yard and community contact the City of Gahanna Service Department at (614)342-4005.
