Greenway Drip street sign in Minneapolis

Your rain barrel.
Solar-powered.
Fully automated.

No power outlet. No water bills. Just sun, rain, and a garden that waters itself — even when you're out of town.

Rainwater hits different.

How It Works

01

Rain fills your barrel

Runoff from your downspout does the collecting. No plumbing changes needed.

02

Solar charges the battery

The 20W panel keeps the LiFePO4 battery topped off all season long.

03

Timer runs the pump

Set your schedule once. The pump fires automatically, every time.

04

Drip feeds your plants

BPA-free tubing and 30+ emitters deliver rainwater straight to the root zone.

Sadie and Jasper in the garden

Built in a Minneapolis backyard.

We're Sadie and Jasper, a mother-and-son team in the Northeast Arts District. We built Greenway Drip because we couldn't find the product we wanted — so we made it ourselves!

We realized we'd solved a real problem, and that other gardeners shouldn't have to go through what we did to get there.

Jasper leads our sourcing and supplier relationships, working directly with manufacturers in Mandarin and on marketing. Sadie handles operations and we both work on strategy together. We're based in Minneapolis, where urban agriculture is deeply rooted — and we're building this business to serve that community first before expanding.

Named for the greenways — transportation corridors designed for pedestrians and bicyclists across our fair city. Hyper-local food deserves hyper-local tools.

Gardening is radical.

Resist big ag. Grow your own food. Feed yourself. Feed your neighbors.

A rain barrel irrigation system is the most direct link you can have between the sky and your salad bowl.

Rain barrel + solar + drip irrigation = food sovereignty in your backyard.
