Raingarden Toolkit: Wahikuli Raingarden Demonstration

Create your own raingarden!

On March 15th and 16th the MNMRC was proud to partner with the West Maui Ridge to Reef Initiative and the County of Maui Division of Water Supply, for the installation of the Wahikuli raingarden.  Over 70 community members participated in the training workshop and installation.  

A rain garden is an intentionally created flat bottom depression planted with natives positioned to receive, treat and infiltrate runoff from impervious surfaces, in this case, shower and parking lot runoff. This garden  provides a visible example of a low impact design practice that homeowners or business can implement with minimal expense and time. 

Be a leader in water conservation and start your own raingarden on your property or in your community!
