How do I create a DIY rain garden

Creating a DIY rain garden is a fun project! First, pick a spot in your yard that collects rainwater, like near downspouts or low areas. Then, dig a shallow basin—about 6 to 12 inches deep. Next, mix in some compost to help with drainage and plant native plants that can handle wet conditions. Make sure to choose a variety of heights and colors for a nice look! Finally, mulch around the plants to keep moisture in and prevent weeds. Water it well after planting, and you’re all set! Enjoy your new garden while helping the environment!
