Summer 2024
We worked with Winnebago County Land and Water Conservation department for guidance and received a grant from them to help with the cost of this project. We are excited to partner with them to create this commercial and urban rain garden. The garden will collect water runoff from our roof for our 96 native Wisconsin plants. We look forward to watching it establish and grow over the next couple seasons.
We took out the mound that was in that area and found gravel. We expected to hit dirt at some point, but it was all gravel!
We had to dig down 12" so that we could put in 6" of dirt and still create the rain basin.
We added a bridge so that the gate can continue to be utilized.
Starting to plant!
Mulch added to keep in moisture and protect the plants as we head into fall.
All Done!
