Hello native plant friends!! In July I installed my first ever (all native) rain garden! The base is about 3 feet deep and the slope rises from there. I designed and installed this in Detroit, MI and had to use an excavator to dig up the ground. This location used to have a church on it many years ago. The church became abandoned and the city basically… well… let the earth reclaim it as it deteriorated. When excavating the ground we kept digging up large chunks of concrete and brick. It took about 2 days to have a fully excavated landscape to build this rain garden. Anyways I just wanted to pop in and share the photos with you. I installed everything the second week of July. The first three photos are after the planting. The last 4 photos are update pictures from 2 weeks ago!!! The garden has really taken off I think!
