UMKC Swinney Rain Garden

employees of CDM and UMKC come together to install plants for the rain garden. This rain garden was installed before I came to UMKC, it is my pleasure to care for it. I will soon have current pics of what it looks like now.

These are some pictures of one of the three of our rain gardens here on campus. This is part of Kansas City, Missouris 10,000 rain garden initiative. This rain garden was installed a couple of years ago. UMKC and CDM and a whole bunch of volunteers installed this rain garden.

  1. Look forward to the current pics. Has it performed well in the area? What types of plants have you used? I installed several rain gardens in the last few years and find them to be a great choice in the right setting
