The Luci and Ian Family Garden is a Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES®) Pilot Project at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. To inform children about water conservation and rainwater harvesting, the landscape architect designed an 8,000 gallon CorGal® inverted roof tank. This tank played an integral role in helping the LBJ Wildflower Center achieve that prestigious SITES® status, one of only 30 in the nation.
The tank sits between a solar-powered, wooden pavilion and a stone restroom building. Water is collected from both buildings’ roofs to replenish a creek, which houses fish, tadpoles, frogs and native water plants. The water tank also feeds the gorgeous waterfall display in the center of the garden. The Family Garden connects the younger generation with nature and promotes conservation.
Architects and engineers are capable of creating inspirational sustainable developments with CorGal® Tanks.
