What difference can one household make to reducing flood risk?
Find out what a rain garden is, how they reduce surface water run-off to the drains during heavy rainfall, and learn how to make one for the smallest of spaces, cheaply and simply.
Breathing Spaces will talk you through, step-by-step with photos and a video, how to divert your downpipe to a water butt and then to a storm water planter and/or other water-retaining features.
Learn the ratio of the planter box to the size of roof, what soil mix to use, which plants are appropriate and beautiful. There are many different ways of designing a rain garden that suits your home. And even if you need to park a car in it, you can still have drainage that doesn’t add to surface water run-off to our overloaded drains.

What a strange summer we are having - tadpoles in the pond in July and the Rowan full of berries, drought and very slow growth in June and everything's gone mad in the past 2 weeks since it got wetter - some things putting on a couple of feet in less than a week!! All part of the new "normal" I guess....
Big thanks to Tracey, Kay, Jay, Emma, Michael and Sally for coming to help Alan and I knock it all back into shape. ... See MoreSee Less
