Build your own Rain Garden
The Municipality of Anchorage has developed a Rain Garden Guidance Manual (PDF) to help you create a rain garden in your yard.
This manual is intended to guide you through any fears, reservations, or questions you may have about rain gardens. It is intended to provide encouragement, tools, and the answers you will need to make and sustain a rain garden.
So, grab a shovel, get some plants, and just do it! Most of all have fun!
