Internship- Day 3

We began the morning with a presentation over types of plants you should plant in a rain garden and why this is a big important part in developing the rain garden. For example, if you place plants that grow too big in the entrance and exit, that tends to block the flow of the water. Afterwards, Emme and I had some independent work time. We both decided to research over what kind of plants would be best to plant for each rain garden, depending on their soil and location. Furthermore, we had a presentation where we learned about design elements. For example, in a spreadsheet we calculated all of our infiltration information and other factors that helped us determine how much space of land we will be need for each rain garden to be built and be successful. Finally, we had some more independent work time where Emme hand drew our landscape for the exit of the trail- where one of our rain gardens will be built-. Then we put all our information into abobe illustrator, so we could have a formal sketch of the rain garden with its requirements on the curb cut and the rain garden itself.
