rain garden in Glenview, IL

A large rain garden and streambed fed by the rain run-off of the large roof of a Glenview condo.

The stream is fed by the many downspouts and the area around the storm sewer is low to hold water for the rain garden.

A nice pair of stone stairways crosses the stream leading into the wildflower garden.
