Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts

The Stormwater Run-off Project at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts includes a rain garden created on the north end of the museum’s parking lot, and a catchment and channeling system on the far south end of it.  Both of these mitigate polluted stormwater runoff and snow melt that currently cascades across the parking lot.  The two systems capture and redirect the water into either the rain garden or the existing bioswale on the museum’s property, allowing the plants to naturally filter pollutants before they reach nearby waterways.
