I did a street-side rain garden in 2018 to catch rainwater from our driveway and roadside water which can be diverted into it. It was nice to hear that someone else is ok with the wild and free approach. It’s so fun to see what will thrive and how some plants may travel and change the look from year to year. Many passersby love it and a few are working at being ok with it. Maybe if I left a mower’s width of turf as a border it would be easier for those folks, but for now I’ll keep the edges trimmed to give a tidier appearance. In winter it’s a bit drab but spring to fall it comes alive with a parade of color as each season presents its featured blooms and pollinators. Loved your plant choices and have most in our garden here in Pennsylvania. Very nice presentation. I feel encouraged to stay wild. 😁
