Rain gardens are becoming recognized as an increasingly important part of urban infrastructure. New York City and Philadelphia are transferring around 50% of their storm water budgets from ever larger storm drains into these quite wondrous combinations of native plants, rocks, and soil. Imagine rain gardens in Bedford Stuyvesant!

Heavy rainfalls have not been kind to parts of Ann Arbor. A solution to part of that problem is found near Jack and Caroline.

Lindsay Nelson of Shannan Gibb-Randall?s Insite Design and Mike Appel of Mike Appel Environmental Design will be describing the design and installation of this rain garden.

It is fitting that the city sponsor this project as it forms a wonderful addition to the work of Jack and Caroline Wallace (as the volunteer park stewards of Mulholland Gardens).

As there is no parking on Mulholland, please park on Washington or at Slauson Middle School. If you can?t walk, please park at Slauson early and call the Wild Ones Shuttle Service: 734-604-4674. Best try to set this up in advance.
