Stormwater Planters
These stormwater basin planters were planted in 2020 as a way to reduce the stormwater running off Van Buren St. These planters will catch stormwater flow, which is then absorbed by the plants before it enters our waterways or creates more flooding in the park. The planters contain native plants like purple coneflowers to provide habitat and food for birds and insects. You can help keep the planter clean by not littering and picking up trash when you see it.

Puede ayudar a mantener limpias las macetas al no tirar basura y recoger la basura cuando la vea.
