As an AP Bio teacher at a suburban North Carolina school I am inspired to consider constructing a rain garden with my class. Thanks for the information and inspiration!
Rain gardens are incredibly easy to build! I recommend building one for your home, it is a great and affordable way to beautify your yard and help your community's water quality. Build a rain garden!
We had a great deal of rain in the Mariemont area on Wednesday, March 25. The rain garden that the MHS Riders of the Storm installed on school grounds handled the heavy rains fantastically! What a beautiful way to reduce runoff from paved areas and roofs and to provide for bees, butterflies and birds. I can't wait to see the unfurling of all the spring foliage and flowers!
I am really suprised at how simple a rain garden is to build and how beneficial it is to the enviroment!Now,I may consider building a rain garden and I will tell others about this simple way to help the enviroment!YEAH FOR RIDERS OF THE STORM!
This seems like a really cool idea to help the environment. It looks great at the high school and seems like it was fun to make. I hope that other schools and communities will follow the example of our school.
The rain garden at our school really shows our care for nature. The riders of the storm took our school from being regular to unique. It's something mariemont will always rember from the seniors of 2009 for. -Christian V.
I think the rain garden is an awesome way for beautify our school as well as do something good for nature. I am really excited to see some of the plants bloom! I think it is great that the Riders of the Storm have taken on this project and I wish them the best of luck. -- Julia Gaburo, 3rd Bell
I didn't know that rain water effected the environment and community so much. The rain garden is an awesome idea! I'm going to try to get people in my neighborhood to make some. Thanks for this helpful website!
The Riders of the Storm have done a great thing for Mariemont and our environment. The raingarden has successfully limited runoff. Their hard work is appreciated by many; I look forward to seeing them win the $50,000! Good luck in the next round!
I am amazed at how much damage rain can do, and at how effective the rain garden is! It's a really great idea, and I'm talking to my parents about building our own. Great job Riders of the Storm!
Congratulations to the Riders of the Storm members for making our school more beautiful, and more importantly, helping out our environment!! I had no idea how beneficial a rain garden could be, until these students introduced this project to Mariemont. I hope more community members try to build a garden for their own yards. Thank you for inspiring us, and I hope you win the well deserved 50,000!
I was intrigued when i first learned about rain garden from the Riders of the Storm. The school's students must be proud of their teacher and classmates for doing so well on such a difficult task. Great job guys, keep it up.
The Rain Garden looks really good! Everyone involved in making this Rain Garden should all be very proud. It’s so cool that they you guys have done this to help the environment. It is making our schools a beautiful place and I hope to see more Rain Gardens in the future.
I really think this rain garden is a cool idea and is a really great way to make our community greener! The world today is facing many problems with the environment, and this is a really neat way to help the cause! Not only does it help our planet, but it also beautifies our community! With all these benefits, who wouldn't want to make their own rain garden? MHS Riders of the Storm definently deserve the grand prize for all of their hard work and spreading this great idea to the whole community!
Good work boys and girls. This is quite an undertaking, and I am moved by the Riders of the Storm for their rigorous efforts to make this wonderful land more beautiful. Keep at it folks and never let down, even when the times get tough!
Amazing - but all the hard work really looks worth it! I'm in an area that gets torrential downpours, with sheets of water on the roads and a sewer system that isn't close to being able to handle the load. I'm very tempted to create a rain garden not only for my own yard but in our local park!
The rain garden is a great idea. It gives people a way to be green. Everyone always says to be green and help the environment. This not only helps our school but gives people an example on how to do their part. It also shows that Mariemont is a great school with devoted students who want to achieve!
This website really helped me understand the concept of a rain garden, which is is such a good idea. The garden helps the environment so much and looks really great outside of MHS. I think it would be great if more people could get into this. Great job Riders of the Storm!
I teach in an inner-city school in Cleveland and our students are currently building a community garden to grow vegetables and we recycle waste from school lunches to compost the garden...but this would be a great addition to what has been done so far to create an even more sustainable and eco-friendly addition to our community. The kids at your school did a tremendous job and should be very proud of their efforts! I will help spread the word so folks here can see how easy and fun it is to preserve our water supply!
This website was very helpful! I never realized how simple building a rain garden could be. I think that this is an awesome way to benifit the environment and it looks beautiful outside of MHS. I think that more schools should try this practical method of "staying green."
I'm an art teacher at Mariemont High School and pass the rain garden every day as I enter and leave school. It is a lovely, peaceful spot. I applaud the Riders of the Storm for their success at improving our environment in a beautiful way. I'm thinking about trying one at home.
What a beautiful way to help Mariemont High School "go green" ...and wouldn't your rain garden be a lovely place to compose a poem? It will be fun to watch the butterfly effect...
The administration of Mariemont High School is very proud of the students and Mrs. Halsall for bringing so much attention to this worthy project. Our hope is that their effort will serve to inspire other schools and organizations to develop their own rain garden.
I saw your note in the ap bio digest and looked at your website. You obviously involved your class, your school, and your community in this ecology project. Great Job! Congratulations and Good Luck!
There is so much to learn about rain gardens but your website has helped me understand the scope of the entire process and how important the function is. Thanks for taking the time to share all of this information.
Great work, gang. Very inspirational. I, too, live in an area that has experienced much development in recent years and a major creek that flows through our county has suffered due to that. I'll share your project with other high schools in our area and see what we can do to remedy the situation! WCromer - Spartanburg, SC
The rain garden looks fantastic! It really brings out the green of Mariemont High School. I think it's awesome what Riders of the Storm did, this has made me consider making a rain garden of my own!
Congradulations Riders of the Storm! The rain garden looks great and is so helpful to the environment. It's something I'll definitely consider using myself. Thanks for helping me understand and appreciate rain gardens.
Great Job, Riders of the Storm! I really enjoy that you guys used an unique idea to help the enviroment. I had no idea that rain could damage the environment that badly, the web site really gives you great infomrmation. Good Luck in the next round!
What a great idea! Living in the high desert in Utah, we're always looking for ways to conserve the rain water. Putting it back into the water table is so great. Love your video. Nice job!
I was so surprised how easy it is to make a rain garden. I couldn't believe almost everyone could do this at home and help the nature with better water quality! I am so happy to see you guys helping the environment~ Go! RIDERS OF THE STORM!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
The rain garden is a very attractive and functional solution to an environmental problem common in many areas of Cincinnati. I think it's great that the students showed such enthusiasm in completing the project. I pass the rain garden each day, and with spring approaching it will be even prettier. Congratulations on a job well done!
I think the Rain Garden Is Wonderful porject. It is looking great and it is helping our enviroment! I think it is one of those projects that can be concered AMAZING! Good Job, and Best of Luck! =)
I've wanted to make a rain garden in my own yard (and I still will at some point). But I never thought about doing it at school as an AP Bio project. Great idea, and super website!
congratulations Riders of the Storm on a job well done. It is good to see kids within our school that care about the environment. You have found a cool way to help the environment and make the school look nice. Good Luck on the next step in the project.
I never knew how much damage rain could cause the environment. It is amazing how beneficial rain gardens can be, and how much they can do to help reduce drainage problems.
Good job Riders of the Storm. This is a great idea and makes our school look nice. I never realized how easy it was to do this. I'm considering growing now.
Riders of the Storm, you did a fantastic job with the rain garden. I had no idea they we're this easy too build! I'm looking forward to seeing you all with the well deserved 50,000 dollars. Great job! -Ashley Newton, Bell 5.
The Riders of the Storm did a wonderful job. It's great that they are showing enthusiasm in helping the environment, and that's exactly what we need now. Great job!
Riders of the Storm, I am very impressed at how well the rain garden turned out. I feel that this is a unique way to benefit our community and the environment. Good luck in the contest!
This is haven johnson. I don't have an account on anything it asked for, so i'll post my name here. The rain garden is reallt cool, its great that so many people are involved with the enviornment! Great job to everyone involved!
The Riders of the Storm should be very proud of what they have done for Mariemont High School. This rain garden will help preserve our environment and keep our school looking green. I look forward to seeing the plants bloom, the water table restored, and The Riders of the Storm winning the $50,000.
I thinks this was a great idea to help out our local ecosystem and to inspire others to be active in preserving natural life. By the way, the color of the text on the "Reaching Out to the Community" page is a little hard to read in contrast with the background.
The Riders of the Storm have made all the students at Mariemont High School very proud. They really represented our school well. This project was a great way to display care in the environment and proves to the community that it's not too hard to accomplish such a beneficial task. I hope this project incites others around the neighborhood, city, and world. Fantastic work, Riders of the Storm! Thank you for sharing your time and hard work by caring for our world.
I can tell that a lot of work was put into the raingarden as well as this site! It's surprising the number of things that a raingarden can do to help the enviornment. I like how this site explains how people can make their own raingardens. Good luck on the final challenge Riders of the Storm!
I was really impressed at the instant awards and honors the builders of the rain garden received, it made me think how there are many rewards to helping the environment. Not only are you making the world a better place for you and your future people, but you are honored on a national level. Good job to the Riders of the Storm and good luck!
The rain garden seems like a great step towards helping the enviroment. The rain garden outside of our school looks great, good job riders of the storm, and keep up the excellent work!
This is a great way tp make the earth more green. I'm thinking about asking my parent if i can grow some of my own plants. I think everyone should pitch in and be a good bud to make the world a better place!!
this is a good way to spread the general idea that something can be done to clean up the planet. riders of the storm seem to have been well rewarded for their efforts as well
the rain garden looks really good. i know you guys put a lot of work nd effort into it. buliding a rain garden is a great way to help enviornment and greal begining to make the world a better place. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK RIDERS OF THE STORM
I just viewed your project on line. What a wonderful idea. Spread the word to gardners how they can use your "rain garden" for their garden landscapes.Congratulations Riders of the Storm.
Ride On, Riders! You did a great job on your rain garden--just in time for April Showers. May you have bunches of May Flowers--you've already gotten much more than a rain garden out of your project. You have a great teacher.
Hey, I just found this, and this is a neat website. I heard about rain gardens, and now I know more. I am really tempted to make one. Cool!
