Field Form, a Brooklyn-based landscape firm, is tackling the increasing flooding issues caused by severe storms by designing gardens that not only enhance beauty but also provide practical flood defenses. Their innovative designs, such as the "Thirsty Birch Gardens", integrate nature and sophisticated drainage strategies to create interconnected gardens that collectively manage water. Conducting thorough research into each site’s history ensures tailored designs that respect and utilize local water patterns, making their approach essential in a flood-prone area like Gowanus, where even slight rainfall can lead to significant flooding events.
Field Form envisions transforming private gardens into interconnected parts of a shared infrastructure that help neighborhoods withstand severe flooding.
With storms causing severe flooding, Field Form's gardens integrate beauty and flood protection, crucial for Brooklyn's vulnerable areas, particularly near the Gowanus Canal.
