Denise, RainWise Homeowner

Denise told us, “for my rain garden, I wanted it to be organized but not too set up — my contractor did a great job of listening to me and creating exactly the garden I wanted. I just love showing it off!”

Rainwater flows from Denise’s roof to her cistern where it can be stored for later use. During heavy rains, pipes connecting the cistern to the rain garden allow extra water to flow into the rain garden where it will pool up.

Denise uses her 205 gallons of stored cistern water for everything — even washing her car! In the summer, she has some free water for her yard!
