Book Description/Synopsis:

Rain gardens are at the forefront of the green revolution. This environmentally friendly landscaping captures rainwater run-off rather than redirecting it into storm drains. The result is less erosion, less water pollution and a beautiful, low-maintenance, sustainable garden. This is the first rain garden handbook for the backyard home gardener. Co-authors Robert Domm and Lynn Steiner draw on hands-on experience to help homeowners build beautiful rain gardens in their own yards. Illustrated with colour photography, this instructive book offers specific advice about planning, building, planting and maintaining your garden. Learn about how to calculate run-off, rain barrels, attracting wildlife, grey water recycling and much more.
