A properly built rain garden can absorb 30–40% more stormwater than a conventional lawn, reducing yard flooding, basement water intrusion, and street runoff simultaneously. The Fiskars Rain Garden Bioretention Kit provides everything needed to design and plant a functioning rain garden: a perforated overflow pipe and standpipe assembly, 6-cubic-foot compressed coconut coir growing medium that expands 5:1, a heavy-duty landscape barrier fabric to define the bed, and the Fiskars Rain Garden Design Guide with plant selection charts for every USDA hardiness zone. The coir growing medium is pH-neutral, drains at 3–5 inches per hour, and resists compaction over multiple wet-dry cycles. Plant with native perennials from the included zone chart and you have a self-sustaining flood mitigation feature that adds genuine curb appeal.
