Jim Harrington developed The Original Rainwater Pillow" in response to the drought in Georgia. Owner of Jim Harrington Garden Designs, one of the Atlanta Area's top landscaping companies, he recognized the havoc that a lack of available water could wreak on his customers gardens. "After watching politicians respond to the drought by pointing fingers at each other and recommending initiatives like, "Take Shorter Showers Month," we realized that it might take years for the government to provide enough water to keep our gardens alive. So, we decided to address this problem ourselves."

The result is The Original Rainwater Pillow, an innovative way to take advantage of Georgia's short, heavy downpours and provide ample water for flowers, gardens and other outdoor watering needs. Better yet, we do it without hard-to-disguise tanks and the garden excavation required for cisterns!

The standard 8' x 10' model fits in most crawlspaces and underdeck areas, and can hold 1,000 gallons of water at a time. Custom sizes that can hold up to 40,000 gallons of water may also be designed to fit your available space.

Jim and his wife, Cecie are both accredited by The American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association.
