Designed to be both functional and attractive, the Bioswale Garden is an excellent example of a nature-based solution to sustainability. The garden was designed to catch rainwater runoff from the nearby road and parking lot so it can be absorbed and recharge groundwater. Plants here can tolerate wet and dry conditions, including native switchgrass, flowering perennials, and a variety of shrubs. The result is a drainage system that is ecologically friendly and visually appealing.
From here, continue across the street to explore Conifer Slope, an extensive collection of conifers.
