On drier days, the neighborhood's rain gardens are just that - gardens.
We haven't been short on rain lately with about 4-6 inches falling in the last three weeks. On top of it all, most of that fell just in the last two days. But that's what rain gardens are for. Fox 4 News just stopped by our Middle Blue River Basin green solutions project at about 75th and Lydia to see just how well the rain gardens, bioswales and pervious pavement are working to keep the city's overtaxed sewers from filling up entirely.
