I have run off problems from rain if we have a heavy storm. Thankfully it does not happen often, but when it does it causes a lot of damage that can take months to clean up.
Rain gardens can alleviate this problem plus they are beautiful. The following you tube has information of rain gardens. Its a bit long but the information is fantastic.
This you tube also has beautiful flowers and outdoor images. Since its February where I live this was a great pick me up from winter weather.
Rain gardens also serve a purpose for the environment. They recycle rain water, feed small animals and beneficial insects and will help with flooding.
Even a small backyard will benefit from a miniature rain garden if you have drainage problems or want to recycle water. These gardens are often recommended in dry or drought prone areas.
I have one area in my backyard that would really benefit from a rain garden plan. It may have to be added to my backyard summer projects. I know it would definitely add beauty and peace to my backyard oasis area.

Beautiful video and I love rain gardens. It somehow adds so much beauty to a backyard and it gives a peaceful feeling.
Hi Diana,
I have the perfect place for a rain garden here. And this year its going in.
Besides how pretty they are they are also low maintenance – a big plus in my book!
And yes, when its snowing out this video is very welcoming! Can’t wait until spring. Denise
