  • Rain Gardens for Home Landscapes
    fold - fold - What Is a Rain Garden? RAIN GARDENS FOR Rain gardens are beautiful natural landscape features that require less maintenance and fewer chemicals than lawns. Rain gardens capture runoff from impervious areas such as roofs and driveways and allow it to seep slowly into the ground. Most importantly, rain gardens help preserve nearby streams and lakes by reducing the amount of runoff HOME LANDSCAPES and filtering pollutants. Why Plant a Rain Garden? Rain gardens provide for the natural infiltration of rainwater into the soil. This helps to filter out pollutants including fertilizer, pesticides, oil, heavy metals and other chemicals that are carried with the rainwater that washes off your lawn, rooftop and driveway. Rain gardens also reduce peak storm flows, helping to prevent stream bank erosion and lowering the risk for local flooding. By collecting and using rainwater that would other- wise run off your yard, rain gardens allow you to have an attractive landscape with less watering. How Do Rain Gardens Work? A rain garden receives runoff water from roofs or other impervious (hard) surfaces such as driveways. The rain garden holds the water on the landscape so that it can be taken in by plants and soak into the ground instead of flowing into a street and down a storm drain or drainage ditch. The plants, mulch and soil in a rain garden combine natural physical, biological and chemical processes to remove pollutants from runoff. Many pollutants will be filtered out and break down in the soil over time. Water should stand in a rain garden no longer than 24 hours after the rain stops.

  • The Green Patch
    Northeast Nebraska Master Gardeners The Green Patch Cottage Gardens By Robin Jones , Madison County Master Gardener Old-fashioned plants and flowers have been making a big comeback recently. For someone like me who loves historic homes and Victorian style, this is right up my alley. With a little creativity and planning, you can design a cottage garden of your own. Cottage gardening started in England and was originally meant to oppose the very ornate, formal grandeur of English January 1, 2014 estate gardens. Cottage gardens are informal and densely planted. Their charm is that they look unplanned and rustic. Imagine flowers and vines weaving together as though they sprung up on their own. You will need to choose flowers, greenery, and traditional ma- terials when you plan your design. Flower-lined paths, shrub- bery and borders that go right up to the house, vine-covered fences and arbors all contribute to your look. The most common flowers in a cottage garden are roses. After that, diversity is key to creating the cozy, inviting charm of Volume 6, Issue 1 this style. Lavender, daisies, hollyhocks, foxglove, peonies, phlox, and snapdragons are good choices. You’ll want to choose flowers that grow tall and look a little wild. By selecting two or three hues and working with the various shades along their spectrums, you will have a harmonious color scheme that doesn’t look too deliberate. Purples, pinks, and blues with occasion- al pops of bright yellows and oranges make a good mix. Next you will want to work in your greenery.

Rain gardens offer an attractive and practical way to conserve water. Rain gardens collect rain that falls on a roof or other surfaces (fig. 1). The water is channeled via rain gutters, pipes, swales (vegetated depressions between two ridges), or curb openings into a depression in the yard, where it soaks into the ground and waters vegetation. A properly functioning rain garden holds water for only a short period of time; it is not a pond feature (fig. 2). Most of the time, the bed of the rain garden is dry. The purpose is to Figure 1.

You have a beautiful and functional landscape where the soil, plants, and mulch partner to absorb and filter urban runoff, and keep it from harming our local waters. Your hard-working landscape will need some care throughout the year, but your time commitment will still be less than what you spent on lawn care during the spring and summer months. This guide will show you the simple steps needed to keep your rain garden looking great and working well. Your original rain garden design determines the ongoing rain garden care. A few mantras for design include, “right plant — right place,” and “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” For a rain garden that means choosing plants that complement each other and your yard. Keep in mind that your original rain garden design can be changed over time, as you see how the plants grow. RAIN GARDEN CARE 1 selective native plants or hardy cultivars mulch layer ponding depth 6" to 12" overflow lower than inflow level unlined rain garden bottom soil mix Your rain garden is part of a growing network of “green infrastructure” that beautifies our communities and keeps polluted runoff out of our waterways.
