Sample Rain Garden Designs

If you are thinking about starting a rain garden, we offer the following examples for your review.  Click on any of the rain gardens below to view the garden plan, plant list and other details about each garden.  Like any perennial garden, rain gardens have an infinite range of possible designs depending on individual preferences, location, soils, slope, and light.  We encourage you to experiment and build a garden that suits you!

The gardens featured below were created by InSite Design Studio, Inc.  Nearly all gardeners dug their own garden with a roto-tiller, although some hired landscape firms to perform the work.

  • For 'do-it-yourselfers' we have complied a list of rain garden resources and garden construction tips.
