Rain Garden (Constitution Avenue)
Rain Gardens are constructed in layers with different materials
- to construct a rain garden, an area is excavated and partially filled with gravel.
- growing media composed of sand and planning soil is installed over the gravel and then protected with a layer of mulch.
- plants are added to maintain soil porosity, take up water and treat pollutants.
- plants should be selected that are hardt and can tolerate wet and dry soils, as well.
Rain Graden is also called a bioretention cell, which is designed to act as a sponge and to filter stormwater runoff.
It has specially selected soils and plants that are both water and drought tolerant.
Rain gardens are designed to mimic natural processes in forests or meadows where rainfall is evaporateed, taken up by plants or drained into the soil.
Rain gardens are simple to biuld and can be installed in residential yards, schools, parks, parking lots, along the road and alomost anywhere.
