Challenges with the Parking Lot Garden

Not only do we have challenges with the slope and drainage of the Parking Lot Garden, we have "awareness" issues - some drivers are just unaware of their surroundings. How can you go the wrong way in a parking lot and across the non-paved areas at the same time? 

We added a fourth barrier on the north side to slow down water flowing east to west.The first three barriers seem effective in reducing the speed of the water and the scouring of the mulch and soil from the north side of the bed. On the south side of the bed, you will see three "waves" of mulch created by the scouring action of the water. A curb around the entire bed may help to protect the mulch.
