This large sweeping contained planter box at the Oregon Convention Center contains a host of native plants and trees. Large planter boxes with trees minimize impervious surfaces and capture and evaporate rainfall.

Planter boxes come in dozens of styles and shapes and can incorporate a variety of planting schemes. Native trees and shrubs that need little summer irrigation, such as the large rhododendrons in this picture, are best suited for stormwater purposes.
