Water garden planters on Vine Street

The Water Garden is a series of three cascading stormwater planters on Vine Street in Seattle, performing flow control and treatment for urban runoff in a visible and demonstrative way, bringing public awareness to the City’s water conservation efforts. The Water Garden is set in a curb-extension micro-park within the public right-of-way and treats stormwater that discharges from the Beckoning Cistern, a functional urban stormwater sculpture by Buster Simpson. The Water Garden features plantings of ferns, shrubs and water plants, designed to provide treatment through biofiltration and other Green Street processes. The Water Garden is part of the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street initiative in Seattle’s Belltown district.
