Claim 11:
12. A method of forming a bioretention system comprising:
(a) positioning on a surface a plurality of elongated supports, each support having a lower end positioned proximate the surface and an upper end spaced above the surface, in an array with a longitudinal axis of each support extending transverse to a plane of the surface;
(b) positioning between each pair of adjacent or proximate supports, proximate the lower ends of the pair of adjacent or proximate supports, a lower panel and coupling side edges of each lower panel to the pair of adjacent or proximate supports via complementary interlocking and mating features; and
(c) positioning between each pair of adjacent or proximate supports, proximate the upper ends of the pair of adjacent or proximate supports and atop of the lower panel, an upper panel and coupling side edges of each upper panel to the pair of adjacent or proximate supports via complementary interlocking and mating features, wherein:
the combination of the supports, the lower panels, and the upper panels form or define an enclosure; and
at least one upper panel includes an opening for the passage of fluid from an exterior of the enclosure to an interior of the enclosure, and
wherein each coupled complementary interlocking and mating feature includes the side edge of the panel in contact with or engaged with the body of the support.
