St. James Anglican Church (St. Marys) – Rain Garden
In August 2017, a rain garden was installed on the church property as a green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) demonstration site. UTRCA staff and St. James volunteers conducted the work. The downspout on the corner of the parish hall collects runoff from the roof and directs it through a plastic pipe underground and into the rain garden.
Thirty-five native wildflowers were planted in the garden. Species included:
- Dwarf Bearded Iris (Iris pumila 鈥楤濒耻别鈥�)
- Coreopsis 鈥楳oonbeam鈥�
- Lobelia 鈥楺ueen Victoria鈥�
- Yarrow (Achillea millefolium 鈥楶补辫谤颈办补鈥�)
- Beard-Tongue
- Bee-Balm 鈥楳arshall鈥檚 Delight鈥� (Monarda didyma)
- Stonecrop 鈥楢utumn Joy鈥� (Sedum hybrid)
