Rain gardens seem like a benign way to treat stormwater runoff. Yet, there is public resistance, and appearance seems to be a factor. Water Cooler Talk: Public Reactions to Rain Gardens presents feedback from city and county program managers and designers that have worked on green streets projects: These involve installing rain gardens within the street right-of-way. This feedback includes the components and qualities of rain gardens that the public has responded favorably and unfavorably to, along with strategies for community engagement.
