Fantastic free 110-page rain garden resource

I stumbled onto this resource while researching nature study topics and wanted to pass it on.  It's a free 110 page PDF on how to build rain gardens.  It's designed for schools and organizations and goes into very precise detail with step by step plans, a glossary, pictures of all kinds of rain gardens (at the end), planning info and lots more.  Here's the link.

Hope it helps someone!

Holy mackerel--I was just wishing for something like this while making lunch today. How excellent.

(Permies.com, the place where so many of my wishes have already come true!)

Did either of you try to build gardens based on this document?

Rachel, you identify as being in a different State than the guide. Did you find it easy to adapt the ideas to your own ecosystem?

#2 Son and his wife are trying to build a house and having an "approved" storm water plan is a requirement. I'm wondering if this guide would be much help, considering we're in the Pacific North Wet where snow and freezing weather are rare.
