Day 1 complete! Our friends at Phoenix delivered four gorgeous handmade planters to us in Fallowfield, ready to transform into #slowflow rain planters. After a day of sun, rain, mud, we'll soon be ready to plant leafy shade-loving beings here #raingardens #flowersnotfloods #pebblefund

Drip drip drip...we love visiting our SlowFlow and rain gardens in the rain! Here's one we installed last year at Darwin Nurseries. Take a look at the flow director, a cast of an coiled ammonite from Sedgwick museum by our friends at Phoenix Trust. #flowersnotfloods #placesfornature #placesforwater
