Take on the challenge of creating an urban garden that collects and stores its own rainwater and thrives anywhere. We’ll start with a tour of the innovative collection and treatment system at Weber Thompson’s Watershed building. Let’s explore the idea of a modular garden as a springboard for your own Microgarden design. How will you collect rainwater and where will you store it? Can you integrate seating and shade into the design? How will you make it mind-blowingly awesome? Will your MicroGarden be a parklet, rooftop café, or part of a play structure?
