raingarden

DEFINITIONS1
  1. 1
    a garden which is planted so that rainwater from roofs, driveways, etc runs into it and soaks into the ground, and therefore does not cause flooding or other problems
    Raingardens are self-watering, low maintenance gardens designed to protect our rivers and creeks, by capturing stormwater that runs off hard surfaces after it rains.

    Raingardens are a more established idea in Australia and the US than they have so far been in the UK. The expression has existed in two-word form (i.e. rain garden) since the mid-nineties, but with increased exposure and usage the closed form is now becoming more common (a process linguists often describe as lexicalization, and which over time can render the two-word form obsolete, compare e.g. blackboard, football, airport).
