A section through a Downpour Planter with a large attenuation area at the base (to slow the flow), and a soil and planting zone above (to grow the flow).

A black box with plants growing at the top, against a brick terraced house wall. A rainwater pipe discharges into the box.

What are we currently working on?

We will be installing 6 #DownpourPlanters to do 2 things:
1. Learn more about a larger, more sophisticated design (left) versus original trial (right).
2. With monitors installed to gather performance data.
