The first Rain Garden at Sportsman’s Field is complete! Congratulations to Amalia Foster on completing her Girl Scout Gold Project! It really does take a community and we are lucky to live in a town where so many are ready to pitch in! Thanks again to Ryser’s Landscape Supply for the fill supplies. For plant donations, thank you to Robbyn O’Neill and the Rutgers Master Gardener program, Bonnie Torcivia, Andy Dougherty and the students in the KW agriculture program and Gavin. And thanks to Michal DiMiceli for rolling up her sleeves and helping with the planting.
This rain garden will help filter the run off from the parking lot and the fields, keeping our Navesink River cleaner!
There are two more sites in the area for small rain gardens if anyone is looking for a community project in the fall. The FHGT is always happy to help with the planning.
