    History:

    The Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Burlington County rain garden was installed as
    part of the Stormwater Management in Your Backyard program that targeted the
    Master Gardeners of Burlington County.


    Type of Runoff Managed:

    This rain garden manages storm water from the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of
    Burlington County's roof.


    Installation:

    Approximately ten Master Gardeners of Burlington County were present for the
    installation of the rain garden in October 2007, which was approved by the Burlington     County Board of Chosen Freeholders.  Sand was added to the soil during
    the rain garden installation.  The native plants that were installed were donated by
    Pinelands Nursery & Supply.  Also, the rain garden was featured in the Burlington
    County Times - click here to view the article.
