Rain Gardens and Bioswales
RPM® plants achieve results faster!
One key to creating a working rain garden or bioswale is to use deep-rooted plants. Forrest Keeling's plants are grown using the proprietary RPM® method to create more extensive root systems faster--and that means a more efficient working rain garden or bioswale sooner for you.
In keeping with Forrest Keeling's commitment to find improved methods to reduce its negative impact on the environment, a working rain garden was installed on the nursery's grounds during its May 3 Family Day. "The deep-rooted native plants and sunken profile of the rain garden will help absorb stormwater as well as surface water runoff and reduce erosion," explained Kim Young, nursery vice-president and general manager. "We hope to expand the new planting with one or two more gardens along the drainage in our front lawn."
