Background
By definition, rain gardens contain shallow bowl-shaped depressions placed where they may catch rainwater runoff from rooftops and pavements. They are managed to maintain a variety of deep-rooted, native plants and healthy soils to allow for infiltration. They also create an opportunity to provide food and cover for a variety of desirable wildlife, like songbirds and beneficial insects. All plants contained in this list are native to Tennessee and can tolerate temporary inundation as expected during and following rainfall.
