About the project....

A rain-garden is a garden bed designed to filter stormwater, removing pollutants and allowing the water to infiltrate into the surrounding soil. In doing so, the rain-garden helps to protect local creeks, but also provides a valuable self-watering garden for the local landscape.

A rain-garden infiltration system is simply like a garden, but with the underlying soils carefully specified to maximise the infiltration of water into the subsoil and ground water.
