These are discussed extensively on the Landscape Design forum, when the subject comes up, which is not all that frequently ;-) It is in essence just a landscape design issue.

Personally, witnessing the decline in participation on many of these forums, especially the very subject-specific forums, which are more or less moribund in most cases, I really don't think we need to add any new.

OTOH, landscape design fits better into Houzz Wikipedia page than does GW. perhaps the rain garden forum suggestion is germane but GW is not the place for it.

Houzz - Wikipedia - Houzz is a website and online community about architecture, interior design and decorating, landscape design and home improvement.

I'm not sure I understand the point being taken here........Garden Web is part of Houzz - the part that deals specifically with gardening, plants, landscape design and all other matters horticultural. Where else would a rain garden forum be more appropriate under the Houzz umbrella than with GW??

I scoured houzz.com and did not find Garenweb. Is Gardenweb part of Houzz or is it like a stepchild acquired in a wedding somewhere? (Gardenweb people must have read a lot of Grimm on long winter nights and understand the stepchildren in the classical .) Gardenweb needs a prince to show up with a glass slipper or perhaps we should be out kissing frogs.

Garden Web is just the "garden forums" on Houzz - they used to be a separate entity before the acquisition and most longtime GW posters still refer to it by that name and will show that relationship either with their screen name or their Houzz profile. For example, your profile shows "GardenWeb Member: albert_135 - December 3, 2001" so you have been a part of GW for ages!! Not sure why you are having issues with this............

I finally found Gardenweb at houzz.com. There is a place labeled ''STORIES & ADVICE". Mouseover stories and advice effects a dropdown which has a link to gardenweb.com.
