Focus: Demonstrate stormwater micro-bioretention practices along streetside and reduction of stormwater contributing downstream by capturing on-site runoff for plant irrigation use. Promote rain garden care with biannual maintenance workshops to teach proper weeding, pruning, and erosion prevention techniques.
Features:
- Curb cuts and cores to take stormwater off the street and into vegetated bioretention basins
- Plant identification signs to highlight native vegetation
- Supported on Phoenix's 8 inches of annual rainfall with no supplemental irrigation
- First Phoenix-area public demonstration site
