If you’re ready to plant a small rain garden, this is the design for you. You’ll have plants blooming in spring, summer, and fall, and a design that looks intentional and cultivated.
This is the right template for you if your intended garden area is in full or part-sun (more than 4 hours of sun each day). This template is designed for gardeners who have already prepared a rain garden basin and need a design for the plantings.
Detailed design drawing showing you exactly what to plant where
drawings with colors filled in for spring, summer and fall
Implementation guide that walks you through how to plant and maintain your new garden
List of plants with their characteristics and the number of each needed to complete the design. All plants are:
hardy down to at least USDA zone 4
native to the U.S. Midwest
well-suited to rain garden conditions (periods of wet and dry)
full to part-sun tolerant
in bloom at different times throughout the growing season
relatively tidy in form, making them appropriate for a front yard garden
perennial (should return year after year)
NOT INCLUDED: instructions for digging and preparing the rain garden basin itself. This topic has many variables and calculations to take into consideration and has been extensively covered by excellent free sources, such as this guide from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Size: 100 square feet (in an oval shape, see second product image)
The design provides you with a suggested visually-appealing layout for an oval-shaped garden of 100 square feet.
All of the plants selected are low-maintenance (although there’s no such thing as NO maintenance) and, with some light care, will appear cultivated and intentional to your neighbors, making this a front yard-friendly garden.
