The brand new expansion of the Fondy Farmers Market & Park #stormwatermanagement system working fabulously in tonight’s 🌧 - we installed a clear tube to show the 💧 coming off the Market roof into the #bioswale.

Fondy Park & Fondy Farmers Market open till 3 on our summer season celebration! #fondypark18 #summer #placemaking #localfood #music #fun
Visit Fondy Park during a trip to Fondy Farmers Market and say hi to the 🐝 🐝, who love the flowering perennials at the park. And check out the #urbanprairie, #stormwatermanagement and the new #raingarden and #pollinatorgarden to be installed by Walnut Way before the big summer market season opening on Sat 6/23.
They’re pretty pumped up about the 1st United Nations #WorldBeeDay! #mke 🐝 Day Party at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 19th & #Wisconsin till 6pm today.
Follow a drop of 💧 from the roof downspout of Fondy Park into the smart bioswale. All the water collected today is taking the load off of Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District - MMSD sewer system during a significant ☔️ event, helping keep our lake and rivers clean. #Fondypark18 #mke #stormwatermanagement #greeninfrastructure.
MMSD has the ability to drain the bioswale whennit wants, say before a major storm is coming in. The smart bioswale also knows when it is too full and will empty itself.
Thanks to MMSD & Fund for Lake Michigan for the funds to build this state of the art system.
Guess the outdoor growing season is over for a while...
