We are often asked how a rain garden differs from any other garden. Is it a pond? Will it attract mosquitos? Will the plants in it be OK during those long stretches of dry weather? The answers are no, it’s not a pond; no, it won’t attract mosquitos, and yes—the garden will be fine when it’s dry. A rain garden is a shallow basin—not as deep as a pond—carved into the soil that receives water from a source such as a downspout or sump pump, or from overground sheet flow. A well-planted, well-tended rain garden is a beautiful, colorful place full of plants that can handle inundation as well as dry periods while attracting butterflies, bees and even birds looking for seeds. It will not hold water long enough to breed mosquitos, but it will send water cleansed by roots
