United Herkimer Garden

97 Herkimer Street
Crown Heights, Brooklyn

This 325 gallon tank collects from the roof of a neighboring house and a shade structure in the garden. The size of the roof is 377 square foot and the size of the shade structure is 133 square feet. One gardener said, “Some people cry when it rains but not me! I know I’m collecting rain water! I love this system.” The overflow leads to a rain garden.
