Educational Rain Garden Installation: A Sustainable Stormwater Management Solution at the Demonstration Hut

TGIF logo image.

The Student Leadership In Green Infrastructure club is in the process of installing a rain garden adjacent to the new demonstration hut in the Back-40. Currently, the rain water is coming from the roof of the hut and flooding the newly installed park tread road. In order to prevent further erosion of the road, our club is going to implement a rain garden to capture the rain water on site. This will also provide an opportunity to educate the community on rain gardens and green infrastructure through an educational mural.
