Rain Garden and Rainwater Harvesting at Noelani Elementary School:

​

The “heavenly mist” at Noelani Elementary School waters the native plant garden; however, when there is too much rain or perhaps even a drought, the four rain cisterns kick in. Not your typical rain garden, Noelani’s Rain Garden is arranged to not only collect and store rain to water the native plants that grow in both wet and dry soil, but also to restrain the rainwater from going directly into Mānoa Stream, thereby helping to keep our stream from overflowing. The overflow water goes directly into the rock bed under the Rain Garden, and ultimately to the aquifer.

 

The Rain Garden is part of the newly created IDEA (Innovative – Discover – Explore – Achieve) Center at Noelani, which was built during covid times and opened in the fall of 2021. The IDEA Center includes a new library, teachers’ work/meeting space, and a STEM classroom. 

​

The care undertaken by Mālama Mānoa participants was our way of thanking the upper grades and the staff for providing decorations for our 2022 Nā Kūpuna Luncheon. The third, fourth, and fifth graders drew delightful color illustrations of kukui – trees, nuts, leaves, branches – and staff laminated the over 100 drawings! Those attending the Luncheon were invited to take home the charming pictures.
