Check Out the Urban Rain Gardens

Did you know that a rain garden is designed to capture polluted storm water runoff from the surrounding roads and sidewalks? They reduce flooding, reduce pollutants in waterways, and create habitats for butterflies. Job well done to the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District, the DC Environment Department, and the Environmental Protection Agency.


The Golden Triangle is also sponsoring a landscape design competition. This is one of the contenders, "Phosphorescence"; the flashy Christmas ornaments are a nice touch.
