RAIN GARDEN PLACEMENT IN YOUR GARDEN

The weather has been miserable here over the last couple of weeks. We had a ton of snow which has been here all winter. Then it poured. Then it got REALLY cold. Now, there is a thick snow cover, but that's covered with a thick coating of ice. So, whatever little bit of melt that occurs just forms puddles because it can't possibly penetrate the ice.
As I drive through the neighborhood, I see puddles on the snow-cover. It dawned on me yesterday that these are the perfect locations for RAIN GARDENS! These are the spots where the water runs and settles. REMEMBER these spots and be aware that they will be wonderful places for those RAIN GARDENS! Sometimes nature is wonderful, isn't it?
