2600 Hwy 56, Binbrook, ON"Join Green Venture for a drop-in rain garden information session and native plant giveaway!
A rain garden is a specially designed garden that catches, slows and utilizes large volumes of rain water. They can be excellent at reducing #flooding or helping troublesome areas where water pools on a landscape. #RainGardens also prevent stormwater runoff by using up rain water close to where it falls. Green Venture offers the #RainReadyHamilton program, funded by the City of #HamiltonON , to support residents with installing a feature on their property that helps reduce stormwater runoff. Learn all about rain gardens and the Rain Ready Hamilton program with our drop-in information session.
Add beauty and support #pollinators by planting native plants this fall! Register to receive a native plant kit containing 3 #PollinatorFriendly plants suitable for full-sun, partial shade, or full shade growing conditions. Fill out the form at the link below to reserve a native plant kit! Pick-up your native plant kit during our event, between 9:30am-12:00pm at the Binbrook Agricultural Society."

Evil Genius Chronicles Podcast for July 3 2026 - I Made It Work Because I Forgot It Didn't WorkDownload audioOn this show, I play a song from Rain Garden; I think a lot about people who live in those remote houses on the highway; there is a power in living somewhere cheap; I feel jealous of people older than me that still have living parents; I got most angry at my dad for not being alive when my child was born; in a weird way, you only become your true self when all your parents are dead; it's unlikely any two of the millions of podcasts have the same workflow; every family is its own weird cult; my father arguing with me about the math of permutations was a big event; if I need an account to read your article then I ain't reading it; I am intrigued by balcony solar; even without storage solar helps with heat waves; tags.pub had a weird pushback; I just block people who bug me and I don't feel bad about it; I fixed my Forgejo action runner on a machine it never previously worked on because I forgot I was fixing the wrong machine.

🌱 On a rainy day, I watched my yard turn into a mini lake, and it hit me—what a waste!
That’s when I decided to create a rain garden.
Not only does it soak up the water, but it also adds a splash of life to my landscape.

🌱 Building a rain garden isn't just about aesthetics—it's a powerful way to manage stormwater and support local wildlife.
Here's how to get started: • Design a depression in your yard to capture runoff.
• Choose native plants that thrive in wet conditions.
• Layer your plants for visual interest and biodiversity.

Spent the morning sowing seeds for our Knob Hill Native Plant Gardens. I'm trying to grow Buttonbush from seed - if it sprouts, this shrub will go in our future #RainGarden.
Rain gardens collect and filter stormwater, reduce flooding, and provide habitat and food to wildlife.

Just got word from Granada Hills that my #RainGarden #landscape project there is performing admirably. No water has flowed off the property. about 1500 sq ft of roof runoff is directed into it and the nearest sensor has registered 4.2" in the last 24hrs.
That's about 4,000 gallons captured and sunk.

#RainGarden #NativePlants #midwest
After a certain point, do others with rain gardens just sorta.... watch to see what volunteers, pull the invasives, and sorta..... let the native plants fight it out for dominance?
or is there something i'm actually supposed to be doing here.... it's about 5 years old. All advice will be noted ✨ thanks in advance!
-
PS - universe - (#plantstodon ? ) Where's my #witchy #greenwitch ppl at? doing final plant installs in the yard and I love reading about plant properties in traditional/modern #spellcraft.
It genuinely romanticizes gardening tasks for me, which is *badly* needed mental entertainment when trying to tame the volunteer turnout in the #rainGarden. (Asters - calm the f down!!! 😆 ) Anyway I have many skeptical bones in my body but I'll read about Plant Lore All Day Long 😆
-
And it should go without saying, but you need to design an overflow for any #RainGarden. Nature will always surprise you, and water overflowing the berm will erode it and you'll wind up with a smaller scale re-enactment of a levee break.
This project has a rock lined overflow channel, and a pipe under the sidewalk into a shallower secondary infiltration pit (to avoid compromising tree roots) before it overflows into the street.
-
Sizing a #RainGarden needs to be based on the infiltration rate of your soil. dig a 3' hole and fill it with water. time how long it takes for the water to disappear.
Your infiltration pond should have the capacity for the area of harvesting, typical hard rain rainfall rate for your area, and infiltration rate.
i.e. 2hr infiltration with a .25"/hr rainfall = .5", and 1000 sq ft of roof capture needs a 300 gallon capacity before overflowing.
