Water Towers: Making Every Drop Count at the 18th Wonder Community Garden Water is one of the most valuable resources in any garden, and thanks to a LIVE UNITED Grant, the 18th Wonder Community Garden has added an innovative new feature to help gardeners make the most of every drop—a self-standing water tower system.  Designed to provide a reliable, sustainable water source, these gravity-fed towers are making it easier for community gardeners to care for their crops while conserving resources and reducing the physical demands of watering.
