[David Muhl <dmuhl65@yahoo.com>]

Linda,

Another resource (other than Brad's book) specific to rain gardens is the 
aptly titled "Rain Gardens:..." by Nigel Dunnett and Andy Clayden.  Note that 
both books will cover information and design solutions which in many 
instances were developed for larger scale projects than the typical suburban 
homeowner lot.  However, a creative designer can sometimes borrow ideas that 
were developed for larger scale installations (commercial, public works, 
etc.) and downscale them to work in these smaller settings (perhaps even to 
accomplish a different goal).

Many other books or online papers/articles could be sourced as well.

All the best,

David
