Talking Water Gardens

Albany, OR

A photo of Talking Water Gardens, during its construction phase. Oregon grape and red twig dogwood can be seen in this planting bed. I don't know the evergreen that looks as if it has died back.

 

Talking Water Gardens is an innovative public/private partnership for engineered wetland science. When completed, the wetlands will reduce water temperature of waste water released by a nearby manufacturing plant, aerate and treat water to improve water quality, restore riparian forest and wetlands with planted native species, promote wildlife habitat and serve as a recreational and outdoor educational site for local residents and visitors.
