Last week, Lesley and I attended the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Annual Philadelphia International Flower Show. We were so excited to see that — in addition to beautiful floral arrangements — stormwater management features were also on display!
There were rain barrels:
There were container gardens:
(This one is part of the Office of Community Development’s vacant lot transformation display, “From Blight to Bloom.”)
There were downspout planters:
(This is from the Philadelphia Water Department’s fantastic display, which featured a bunch of awesome stormwater management features.)
(This is part of Temple University Ambler’s “Ecolibrium” display, which incorporates sustainable design features.)
We are just thrilled to see stormwater management being incorporated into the Flower Show this way!
