Problems with Current Layout
 Rock swale leading to garden allows rocks to wash
into distribution trench
 Rain barrels are not aesthetically pleasing

Problems with Current Layout
 Distribution trench collects soil and rocks and requires
regular cleaning
 Not effectively distributing water to all plants because of a
walkway
