    Interesting concept–rain gardens. But it would have been more helpful & informative to start with a more basic intro video that first explains what exactly IS a rain garden!?!?! For those of us that never heard of one before, its not clear how it’s different than any other kind of garden. What makes it a rain garden & what does it do?

    If you are ever in the Tigard, Oregon area and want to see a rain garden I would suggest goin gto Woodward Gardens. There is a composting demonstration garden that Metro set up years ago at Mary Woodward Elementary School that is still being maintained. There are three acres of gardens which are spectacular that include rainbarrels, rain garden, drip irrigation, sixteen raised beds, two green houses and a wetland boardwalk to name a few as well as about twenty compost demonstration stations.
