Public Rain Garden

WaterFarmers worked with Green Venture to deploy a RainWaterOne rain harvesting system and create a large pollinator and rain garden in a busy area of downtown Hamilton, Ontario. We removed sod and prepped the area for two volunteer events, one where the land was shaped to accommodate a rain garden / rock swale, and another where community members helped plant approximately 200 native plants throughout the new landscape. The 1,250 litre RainWaterOne feds the new garden automatically with soaker hoses powered by a small pump on a timer. This site serves as an illustration of rainwater harvesting for the public and the new landscape enhances the appearance of the streetscape.
