Rain Garden

We feature two rain gardens that are joined together with a bridge. Our rain gardens have an internal overflow, which allows for our rain garden to drain while still creating clean stormwater.

Watch this video to learn more about rain gardens.

Cistern

Our 2500 gallon cistern collects around 1650 square feet of roof area from a total of 3300 square feet area. Our cistern features a low flow orifice that helps control our cistern water level and excess water drains into the rain garden.
