"The Modern Rain Garden is an in-depth account of my personal experience with rain gardens over the past decade. Rain garden theory and methodology can differ greatly from one resource to the next, leaving readers confused over which one to believe, often leading to decision paralysis and a lack of action. This honest and relatable account will empower readers to think critically so they can make their own design and construction decisions with confidence. My mission with The Modern Rain Garden is to demystify the concept and help readers take ownership over their rain gardens."--Page 4 of cover.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

A rain garden is a planted depression that soaks up rainwater runoff from roofs, driveways, walkways, and compacted lawn areas-water that would otherwise carry pollutants directly to our streams. Rain gardens soak up 30 percent more water than an equivalent patch of lawn.Where Do You Put a Rain Garden?Choose an area where you want to soak up rainwater at least 10 feet from the house. Rain gardens can drain water from downspouts or catch water that drains off roads and walkways. Avoid areas over septic systems.Do not place a rain garden in areas that are consistently wet. Rain gardens should drain completely within 24 hours.
