ECO AT TEN

Let’s celebrate Eco Modern Flats’ 10th birthday with a song, some stats, and a good old before-and-after!

She’s Playing our Song

Fayetteville singer-songwriter Shannon Wurst wrote this song for Eco’s ribboncutting in 2011, and we love it even more today. It’s recorded on her album Green and Growing: Roots Music for Eco Kids, available on shannonwurst.com.

How does your (rain) garden grow?

The rain garden improves water quality in the Beaver Lake/White River watershed by slowing and absorbing stormwater runoff and filtering pollutants. Each summer, the native grasses and flowers grow tall, welcoming residents home.
