You might be interested in another new resource, Rain Gardening in the South: Ecologically Designed Gardens for Drought, Deluge & Everything in Between, a lovely how-to guide for home gardeners interested in water-wise gardening. In addition to content on design, installation and care-taking of rain gardens, there are extensive plant lists and trouble shooting tips for gardeners in southern climates. Available at www.enopublishers.org or at bookstores.
