Rain garden

A rain garden is very important because in many ways it can help the environment from pollution. One way it can help the environment is that when the rain falls it goes down a downspout and into the rain garden.  There it soaks in the ground plus it feeds the plants. At Glacier Park we are building a rain garden.

There are 250 plants in our rain garden. We have Strawberry’s; Blueberry’s, and Lupines too.  Lupines’ are one of my teacher’s favorite flowers. The rain garden prevents pollution. The storm water goes into the rain garden infiltrates and all that storm water goes down to the plants roots the soil and gets cleaned up.   You could help the earth and improve water quality by putting a rain garden in your yard.
