Cumberland County Master Gardeners

Rain gardens are designed to capture and absorb stormwater runoff, helping to reduce flooding and erosion while improving water quality. By using deep-rooted native plants, these gardens naturally filter pollutants from rainwater before it reenters the groundwater system. In addition to their environmental benefits, rain gardens create a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape feature that supports biodiversity by attracting birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. They are a sustainable solution to manage rainwater while enhancing the aesthetic and ecological value of your property.
