===== Guidelines  ===== 
Large rain gardens generally contain at least 15 different species of plants at a density of 1 per square foot.((http://www.a2gov.org/government/publicservices/systems_planning/waterresources/Documents/publicservices_systemsplanning_stormwaterrates_raingarden_credits_2008_08_15.pdf))
For smaller gardens, a variety of perennials and shrubs makes a good mix. As the rain garden matures, you will need to thin the
population of some plants as others grow.
