Rain Garden/Dry Creek Plants
Q: I can not find much information about which plants would be appropriate for a rain garden or dry creek. What should I plant?
A: Building a rain garden is an excellent way to create a beautiful landscape that can tolerate downpours. All it takes is choosing plants that don’t mind wet feet and giving the rainwater a chance to slowly disappear. I have many resources, including an app for your smartphone at http://www.walterreeves.com/landscaping/rain-garden-designing/.
