A rain garden is a shallow, gently sloped channel filled with topsoil and plants. They are an attractive and natural way to manage rainwater runoff in developed neighbourhoods. In fact, they allow about 30% more water to soak into the ground than a regular lawn.
Runoff from small, frequent rain showers is stored in the topsoil. When the topsoil is full, water flows into the pipe and enters the municipal drainage system. Rain water treated by topsoil is cool, clean, and has nutrients that benefit wildlife.
Plants and soil help absorb pollutants, preventing them from washing into watersheds.
Land developers design, build, and maintain rain gardens until the plants are established. Once established, it becomes the responsibility of the adjacent property owner(s). Per Township Bylaw No. 4758 property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their road frontage, including rain gardens.
Like any garden or landscape, rain gardens require some upkeep. While they typically don’t require fertilizers, winter protection, or irrigation, the following maintenance tasks are recommended for an effective and attractive landscape:

Remove by hand. Do not use chemical weed killers, which could enter and pollute the water and natural creek system. Do not use a string trimmer or other machine; it might chop off a desirable plant. Dispose of weeds in your Green Cart.
It's not advised unless a plant has died; rain gardens need plants. Your plants have been chosen because of their environmental properties, removing them may lead to clogged streams and messy ditches.
Definitely! Additional plants will enhance the attractiveness and wildlife value of rain gardens. There are many plants on the market that are suitable for rain gardens – but choose wisely. Avoid plants that grow aggressively and steer clear of invasive plants, which cause more harm than good. For the best advice, speak to a garden specialist at a nursery.
Consider visibility and safety. Choose plants that won't grow higher than one metre when fully mature. Place taller plants away from driveways and intersections so that drivers can see pedestrians and cyclists fully. Choose drought-tolerant plants that don't need much watering.
Absolutely! See above for a few suggestions to help you design and build your own rain garden.
