Overview
In the fall of 2013, Ryan Owenby’s third-grade class helped to create a rain garden at their school. The garden helps clean water that runs off the school roof, the parking lot and about an acre of land at the corner of Laburnum Avenue and Hermitage Road. It also helps to reduce storm water runoff. Set in the middle of a circular asphalt parking lot, it takes the place of what had been a grass-covered drain field that easily flooded.
