OARE SCHOOL RAINWATER GARDEN

Oare Primary School have created a beautiful rain garden in a once disused and derelict part of the school site.  Rain Gardens slow down the flow of rainwater and allow water to permeate the soil as opposed going directly to storm drains.

The garden incorporates water collection tanks created from old containers, planters from old water troughs, a mini wildflower meadow, a dramatic overhead channel and rain chain which flows with water on rainy days, as well as seating areas for the children to enjoy outdoor lessons.
