Abstract
GEOMORPHIC SETTING: The Gateway Garden sits at the head of a large ravine in a glacial moraine (Fig. 1). The ravine is part of the Huron River drainage that flows into Lake Erie. The garden is located in a 17-acre sub watershed that includes a cemetery and roads that generate significant amounts of runoff. An intermittent stream that flows through the garden drains a watershed of approximately 33 total acres that includes not only the cemetery but also roads, parking lots, and building roofs. The stream is fed entirely by storm water runoff, so it fluctuates between being nearly dry and discharging large amounts of water.
