In late fall 2022, the Cuyahoga Soil and Water Conservation District (CSWCD) installed a small rain garden on the Rocky River Community Garden property.
It's along the entranceway path leading from the Rocky River Senior Center to the garden entrance fence.
It's just south of the River Sprouts Greenhouse.
According to the CSWCD website:
Rain gardens are attractive, landscaped areas planted with perennial native plants which don’t mind getting 'wet feet.' They are beautiful gardens, built in depressions, which are designed to capture and filter stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces around the home, such as rooftops and driveways. The district has assisted installing over 30 rain gardens across the country.
