In Harmony-designed rain garden gets noticed
A rain garden is an attractive addition to a landscape, and it helps keep our Northwest environment sustainable. By collecting and slowly filtering rainwater, rain gardens help keeps our streams and groundwater clean.
In Harmony designer Malissa Gatton created a rain garden for Seattle homeowner Lyn Dillman that has gotten notice from the news media. The garden ended up both on the Ciscoe show and in Sunset Magazine.
Malissa used a copper rain chain to collect water from the roof. A perforated pipe is buried to carry water under a dry streambed. She chose a variety of plants for the rain garden that tolerate different levels of wet and dry conditions.
“It’s a win-win situation,” Malissa said. “The garden helps reduce this household’s environmental footprint. Anybody could do it.”
