How do I maintain a rain garden?

Maintaining a rain garden involves regular weeding, mulching, and ensuring proper drainage. Would you like tips on any specific aspect?

What types of plants should I include?

Choose native plants that thrive in wet conditions, like coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and ferns. They help with water absorption!

How often should I water the plants?

Rain gardens typically require less watering, but during dry spells, water them once a week. Monitor the soil moisture!

What should I do if I see standing water?

If you see standing water, check for blockages in the drainage system. You may need to adjust the soil or plant placement.

Can I add more plants later?

Absolutely! Just ensure they are suitable for the existing conditions and won't overcrowd the garden.
