Climate changes are causing extreme weather shifts, making stormwater management a rising concern in urban environments. Tournesol has tackled this challenge for over a decade by partnering with architects, innovating our Bioretention Planters, and adding new features and materials, including aluminum.

New Features
Aluminum
Aluminum is a great choice for bioretention. It is lightweight, adding less to the overall load. It is easier to deliver, assemble and complete installation. It’s also friendly on the environment, requiring less energy to deliver, build, and recycle.
Splash Box
Our Splash Box and Level Spreaders are accessories available for both GFRC and Aluminum Bioretention Planters. The Splash Box has been thoughtfully designed to be easy to install, able to be located anywhere in the planter, and has a removable tray for easy clean-out.
Level Spreader
Level up with this mini aqueduct, which has unique perforations along the spreader for even water distribution. The Level Spreader distributes rainwater evenly across the planter, slowing down the flow.
Bioretention Planters
Our Bioretention Planters are pre-built and installed on-site to collect stormwater from drain leads/downspouts. Water is filtered by plants and media, removing organic and inorganic solids, and slowly releasing it into the storm drains, reducing peak discharge rates.
