Gresham HS rain garden

Fall 2011. School maintenance staff will water the new garden in dry months for the first one or two years until plants are established.

Fall 2009 – garden planted and waiting for it’s first rain.

Spring 2009 – Garden is installed and receiving it’s first rain.

At one year old, native plants are establishing well and the garden captures and infiltrates an estimated 196,000 gallons of runoff per year, reducing pollution in Johnson Creek and recharging local groundwater supplies.

Rain Garden Bike Tour, City of Gresham

Curb cuts around existing storm drains were used to direct playground runoff to rain garden ponding areas first. Gardens overflow to existing storm drains when ponding areas are full.

A $200 rain garden grant helped this homeowner install one of her own.

Parents, teachers and students helped plant the rain garden with native plants tolerant of both drought and standing water. Jamie coordinated a school Rain Garden Team to help design the garden and maintain it in perpetuity. Students learned about storm water runoff and impacts on Johnson Creek.

Jamie led City of Gresham Operations staff to excavate the garden to provide for a safe overflow during very heavy rains and enough ponding area to handle average Oregon storms.
