A stormwater garden consists of water-tolerant, native-adaptive planting at low points where rainwater collects. Planting stormwater gardens in the low areas around the open lawns that are persistently muddy is a natural way to address this issue. The drainage swales at the open lawns will be re-graded to direct water towards the stormwater gardens where the plants will drink up excess water to avoid ponding on the fields and sidewalks.
