Anybody else have a rain garden? Native plants helping to recycle water and keep it out of the sewer system. Here's a pic of mine in it's first year. Coreopis, Joe Pye Weed, Echinacea, Switch grass, Sweet flag, Cardinal lobelia. All except the lobelia came up this year, plus it's my Dame's Rocket's year to bloom. I know that's not native, but it & the day lilies were aleady there. That's a Korean Lilac in back (also non-native). For more info on rain gardens see Kansas City's "10,000 rain gardens" site.
