Greenhaven's Garden Grows Despite Extreme
Temperatures and Watering Restrictions
The Original Rainwater Pillow™ collects up to 3,600
gallons of water to be used for lawn
irrigation
ATLANTA - May 21, 2009 - As Atlanta prepares
to welcome the hot months of summer, homeowners are growing
increasingly concerned of the present watering restrictions and the
fate of their lush lawns. However, area
lawns can beat the heat and continue to thrive thanks to the
Original Rainwater Pillow, a horizontal rain harvesting system that
uses collected rainwater to irrigate and maintain
lawns. An integral part of the Greenhaven
sustainable landscape design, the Rainwater Pillow is an
easy-to-use and affordable alternative to typical in-ground
cisterns or visible above ground tanks.
Custom designed to fit within a crawlspace, greenhouse, or
underneath a deck, the Rainwater Pillow efficiently captures
rainwater through a simple pipe leading from the gutter to the
Rainwater Pillow. The water is filtered and
safely stored in the Rainwater Pillow and can be easily accessed or
connected to an existing sprinkler or drip system. The system can
be used to irrigate lawns, flower and shrub beds or any other
outdoor water use. "As the new
model for drought-tolerant and sustainable landscape design,
Greenhaven relies on the Rainwater Pillow to maintain the integrity
of the lawn and plants no matter what the rainfall conditions,"
said Richard Feis, president of Pace
Homebuilders. "The Rainwater Pillow affords
homeowners the opportunity to conserve water and responsibly
irrigate their greenscape to help preserve their yard and our
planet." Greenhaven invites you to
see the Rainwater Pillow in action, meet the inventor and learn how
it works at the Spring Greenscape Series hosted by HGTV's Justin
Cave May 23, 24, 30 and 31 at Greenhaven. For
