Rain Gardens:
Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape
by Nigel Dunnet; Andy Clayden
Although “rain garden” refers to a planted depression designed to retain and filter stormwater runoff, Dunnett and Clayden, both from the U.K., define the term to more broadly incorporate many types of landscaping that facilitate stormwater management, including green roofs and water features. They argue that water, properly managed, can form part of an environmentally beneficial landscape and can provide visual interest as well as opportunities for play and interaction. The book explores practical strategies for collecting, distributing, and filtering rainwater, and ends with a plant directory.
