Native Plants for Rain Gardens
Native plants work great in rain gardens! They are adapted to our wet winters, and drought-tolerant in the summer once they are established. There are endless possibilities in choosing plants for your rain garden, but here are a few of our great native plants that would do well and be a compliment to your landscape. Some of the shrubs do get quite large, so keep this in mind and make sure you have adequate space.

We are all working together towards Better Ground – in our homes, schools, farms, and public spaces. We can grow gardens, educate our youth, and change the world – one property at a time. Would you like to make some of these changes but need assistance? Conservation Districts work cooperatively with thousands of landowners each year to provide free services on private property.
