HOW TO INSTALL YOUR OWN RAIN GARDEN!
Thursday, September 25th - 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Library-adult Fanwood Library - Fanwood Room
“HOW TO INSTALL A RAIN GARDEN AT YOUR HOME” EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AT THE FANWOOD MEMORIAL LIBRARY Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Union County along with the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program want to teach homeowners how install rain gardens at their homes! At this free educational program, homeowners will learn the basics of rain garden installation and will leave with information to help them get started with their very own rain garden projects. Rutgers Cooperative Extension’s rain garden experts will teach homeowners what they need to know to get started with their own rain garden projects, from the site selection to the choice of plants. Rain gardens are beautiful, inexpensive, and low-maintenance gardens designed to intercept, treat, and infiltrate stormwater at the source, such as a rooftop or driveway, before it becomes runoff. The plants are native to the region and help retain contaminants that could otherwise harm nearby waterways. In September 2005, a rain garden was constructed at the Fanwood Memorial Library to serve as a demonstration garden for community residents who would like to install rain gardens at their own homes. Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Union County and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program invites all interested adults to attend their “How to Install a Rain Garden at Your Home” program. The program is funded by a USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service National Water Quality Program Grant. This informative presentation and outdoor tour of the Fanwood Memorial Library rain garden will begin at 7:00 PM on Thursday, September 25th in the Fanwood Room on the lower level of the Fanwood Memorial Library, located on North Avenue and Tillotson Road in Fanwood, New Jersey. This location is not handicapped accessible, but alternate arrangements can be made to provide the information. Please call Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Union County at 908-654-9854 to register and for more information. This Rutgers Cooperative Extension “How to Install a Rain Garden at Your Home” program is free and open to the public without regard to sex, race, color, national origin, disability, handicap, or age. The program is Information is also available on the Fanwood Memorial Library’s website at http://www.fanwoodlibrary.org or by calling the library at 908-322-6400.
