Whether you’re a new or an experienced gardener, every growing season and gardening endeavor generates questions. If you’ve planted a rain garden, you are likely to have questions you encountered along the way. If you’ll be planting your first rain garden, you’re bound to have some general and specific questions as you get started.

Keeping up any garden, including low-maintenance rain gardens requires some effort. Weeds move in, plants outgrow their space and some desirable plants die. Add to this the challenge of maintaining the area around the garden and keeping the water flowing from the roof, walks, and lawn to the garden. Melinda Myers will share ways to manage these challenges to help you create an attractive garden that helps manage the water that falls in your yard.
