Bioretention Planters for Stormwater Management


Presented By

Course Description:



Stormwater management is critical in an era when severe storms and sewer overflows are increasing in many areas. In urban contexts where open space is at a premium, using on-structure bioretention planters can be the ideal approach. This course explores the benefits of bioretention and how bioretention planters reduce peak flows and improve water quality. The course also discusses how bioretention planters should be designed, can perform as amenities, and contribute to meeting the requirements of green building certification programs.

Learning Objectives:



  • Utilize bioretention systems to control stormwater flow and improve water quality.


  • Identify and implement the most appropriate bioretention planter system for each context.


  • Incorporate the appropriate features and functions of prefabricated bioretention planters to manage stormwater flows and improve outdoor spaces simultaneously.


  • Follow the recommended steps to plan and design an above-ground bioretention planter system that meets local codes and contributes to LEED®, WELL™, and SITES® credit requirements.
