Sugar Loaf Assisted Living
(765 Menard Street) Winona MN 55987 The recently constructed Sugarloaf Senior Living community has several rain gardens, as required by the City of Winona for new construction. Runoff from the rooftops and parking lots is delivered to three rain gardens, where the water is absorbed by the soil and transpired by the plants, unless it reaches the level of the overflow. Through the efforts of staff and volunteers, including students and staff from Hope Lutheran School, two of the gardens are beautiful and maturing each year. The third is planted with grass and yet to be filled with ornamental and native plants, but it's shape shows much potential. |
