Bio-retention/Rain Garden Materials

The purpose of Rain Gardens or Bio-Retention Systems is to improve the quality of stormwater from our streets and urban environments before it travels to local creeks and ultimately the ocean.

The improved stormwater from the rain garden may be collected and used for irrigation or returned to the stormwater system. Enhancing stormwater quality is part of a strategy to improve seagrass health, benefit our marine environment and keep our beaches cleaner.
