Rain Garden Benefits
Rain gardens are effective in removing 90% of nutrients and chemicals and up to 80%
of sediments from rain water runoff . A rain garden is not a water garden. Because rain
gardens will drain within 12 to 48 hours, they prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. After a
storm, water fills rain gardens and then slowly filters into the ground rather than running directly into a storm drain or lake.
