This space was in desperate need of a rain garden! This space was in desperate need of a rain garden! 🌧️🌱 The garden bed is recessed so when it rains the water will run down into the garden. The plants will soak up all the water instead of creating puddles in the lawn. This garden is 100% native plants! In the wettest corner there’s Bottlebrush Sedge, Blue Flag Iris, and Swamp Milkweed. Then there’s Prairie Blazingstar, Black Eyed Susan, Purple Coneflower, and Little Bluestem! #raingarden #nativeplants #prairie #minnesotagarden #milkweed #twincities #nativegrass #minneapolis #saintpaul #gardendesign #design
