Building a Raingarden

News release from Healthy Waterways

In June this year, Healthy Waterways and Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee hosted a workshop on How to Build a Raingarden. Raingardens (also known as bioretention systems) are garden beds that use native plants and soil to capture, filter and treat stormwater runoff. A raingarden was constructed to treat stormwater from the new office at the Bulimba Creek Sustainability Centre. The process was captured on film.
