Armatage Neighborhood of Raingardens
Metro Blooms worked with the Armatage Neighborhood Association to install 12 residential-scale raingardens in the neighborhood in the summer of 2018 to capture and infiltrate runoff, reduce pollution flowing to Minnehaha Creek, and increase native plants and pollinator habitat. This partnership continued in 2019, resulting in 18 additional raingardens. The neighborhood association is also working to engage underserved residents, including renters, in this program, as the partnership continues in 2020.
