Expert Response

Here is our page on Rain gardens. It includes a short video and an additional resource at the bottom of the page called Rain Gardens Across MD. This publication offers design, location, planting information, etc. https://extension.umd.edu/resource/rain-gardens

Also, take a look at the Prince George's County Rain Check Rebate program. Rebates are offered to PG County residents to help with the installation of approved stormwater management practices. Rain gardens are included in this program and perhaps there is someone from this program who can help address whether your site would be suitable for a rain garden. Here is the website where you can find more information. https://cbtrust.org/grants/prince-georges-county-rain-check-rebate/
