East Calhoun Neighborhood of Raingardens

This project was a partnership between the East Calhoun neighborhood organization (ECCO) and Metro Blooms to install raingardens on private property within the neighborhood. ECCO helped fund the program and participant residents received a landscape consultation. We partnered with the Conservation Corps to excavate the raingardens, resulting in 14 new raingardens in the neighborhood.
