Re: Marketing Problems For Rain Gardens

**j* e* m* s* <h*@sbcglobal.net>**

Here in Indiana we use rain gardens in areas that may flood or stay 
wet for short periods, depending on the weather. They are becoming 
more popular, as people become more aware of storm water run off, 
well-field protection districts and a clean streams' initative. One 
was installed recently at the Dorothy Buell Visitor Center at the 
entrance to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Yet among several 
professionals, rain gardens are not considered necessary. The Indiana 
Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts has some info. 
There's also the rain garden network.

I like plants way too much to advocate only native plants. I'd 
recommend using what works.
