About

This area of the garden was designed to benefit from stormwater that  runs onto the site. We use rocks to slow the natural flow of water as it makes its way down the slightly-sloped land, towards the creek.  This ensures that the plants to the left make use of the extra water that comes down Riverview Dr. We haven't yet started planting to the right, so now's the perfect time to start taking pictures of our progress!

How the Photo Stations Work

We have interactive photo stations strategically placed throughout LRPPG! Each station is linked to a separate webpage that includes a brief introduction to their connected project. You can help us track the health and progress of our garden by using the one installed at the garden trailhead. Simply: 

  1. Take out your cell phone and open the camera app. 
  2. With the screen facing you, position your cell phone horizontally in the mount attached to the top of the post. Make sure it's oriented with the camera at the top to prevent the snapshot from being blocked by the holder. 
  3. Take a picture! For best results, please make sure that there are no people in the frame. Remember, the purpose of this project is to track the changes of the landscape over time. However, if you’d like to submit an additional photo with people included, we’d love to feature you online! 
  4. Upload the photo using the form below! 

Please note: this page is only for the LRPPG Bioswale Garden. To upload photos from other stations, please scan the codes on their respective posts to access their project-specific pages. Thank you!
