The Sustainable Wetland Garden at the Temple University Arboretum demonstrates environmentally sensitive landscape design. The challenge was to design, build and maintain the garden while reducing damaging impacts on local and regional watersheds. The result aesthetically and environmentally improves the site. An aerial aqueduct conveys roof runoff to a wetland bio-filter, where it is combined with stormwater runoff from surrounding lawns and buildings, and cleansed. The aqueduct is part of a solar fountain and flows when the sun is shining. Photo-voltaic panels provide its renewable solar energy. While the role of the aerial aqueduct is to convey roof runoff from storm events, its design elevates stormwater “disposal” to a landscape amenity by expressing the flow of water in the landscape. Under the shelter, hand-cast paving stones incorporate recycled glass. Native plant communities appropriate to the hydrologic conditions are utilized in the wetland and surrounding landscape. The Wetland Garden is used as a contemplative space for small groups and individuals.
