Thanks. It looks good! Now for a big rain to see it in action!

new shiny pics I took today..

Water is allowed to enter then exit the raingarden farther down grade…. in a small to medium event most precip will be captured and perc in these areas. It is Florida so larger rain events will be allowed to overflow and enter into the existing culverts at intersections.

Kevin– yes, we are installing planters over storm inlets. 
Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks Tim and Cynthia. Next webinar will really get into strategic thinking about perspectives and drawing composition – my favorites! I’ll cook up some more video clips and hopefully control the camera focus a bit more than in last night’s program.

Are you talking about installing a planter over a storm inlet, or a storm line?

We are seeking resumes for a 5-6 year experience Landscape Architect/ designer for our busy Buffalo, NY office. Info found at http://www.JKLAstudio.com

John, thanks for sharing.  Do you have any site photos, from these projects, that you’re able to post here?
