Building your own rain garden is easier than it may seem. To begin, it is strongly suggested that you read the series of three NebGuides created by University of Nebraska-Extension. The NebGuides will teach you how to design your rain garden (877 K) 
, install your rain garden (877 K) , and choose appropriate plants for your rain garden (877 K) .
The Lincoln City Libraries have a great resource available for check out to help design, install, and plant your rain garden: The Blue Thumb Guide to Raingardens 
.
