One of my favorite things about our garden is our five serviceberries that we planted in our rain garden. A rain garden is a small detention pond that catches runoff, in this case from our roof, and holds it there while the water slowly seeps into the ground rather than flooding our neighbors:
I have written several posts on the Therapeutic Landscapes Network Blog about these trees, including one called "Serviceberries Make Me Happy." And they do. They flower early, with delicate white blossoms that only last for about a week or so. The leaves emerge soft and downy, like little pale green rabbit's ears.
