When a highly structured landscape sits atop a key area for water runoff, bioretention can be the key to success. Bioretention ponds elegantly weave between the roads and walkways of the center to ensure visitors feel welcome and the local waterways stay healthy. Most importantly, these efforts keep polluted runoff from heading into the bay. Innovative ponds and swales filter the water through a series of soil layers and lush plantings to return clean water to the earth.
