A rain garden is an important component of a new Habitat for Humanity development in northeast D.C., The Washington Post reported. Installing rain gardens, instead of using more traditional methods of managing storm water, is one way to meet Habitat's goals of building green and promoting low-impact lifestyles.
The gardens comprise an array of water-loving plants that filter runoff headed for the region's water supply and the Chesapeake Bay.
