raingardens installed this week as part of the Powderhorn Lake
Neighborhood of Raingardens project. The tour will meet at 6:00 pm at
the Art Stop Community Garden on the corner of East 32nd Street and
Chicago Avenue South. We will view gardens planted on the 3200 block
of 10th, Elliot, Chicago, Columbus, and Park Avenues.
These 16 gardens are part of a larger project to install 100 - 150
raingardens in the Powderhorn Park and Central neighborhoods and to
study the impact that raingardens can have on water quality in
Powderhorn Lake.
MORE PARTICIPANTS WELCOME
Another 100+ gardens will be installed in Powderhorn and Central in
August and September. The project area includes many homes between
Lake Street and 32nd Street and from Portland Avenue to 10th Avenue.
Each raingarden is valued at $1000 and is available at NO COST to
participants.
