Returning to the well-draining soils of NW Puyallup, the second installation cluster of 2011 was completed July 23, 2011 in the neighborhood of 7th Avenue NW and Wilson Drive. This cluster included the installation of 6 rain gardens and 2 rain barrels.

The City of Puyallup received support from several organizations for this installation:

• Funding was provided by an Ecology Capacity Grant.
• Pierce Stream Team provided volunteer coordination, catch basin marking, and installation assistance.
• Landscape architecture was contracted with Robert W. Droll Landscape Architecture PS.
• Construction was completed by Soundview Landscaping and included donated time to complete the project.
• Rain barrels and installation were donated by Dan Borba of Down to Earth Gadgets and Gizmos.

With a strong turnout of over 40 volunteers, the installation and catch basin marking went smoothly. Take a look at the photos of the installation event.
