Rain Garden (re)Planting in Boyd Park

June 29 @ 9:00 am 10:30 am

On Saturday June 29, join LRWP Board Member and “Green Infrastructure Champion” Doriann Kerber  to learn about rain garden installation, and to assist with replanting of the rain garden at our sculptural #FRAME in New Brunswick’s Boyd Park Raritan River riverfront. Doriann has helped with dozens of community rain garden installations throughout the watershed and knows her stuff! Come with your questions!

New Brunswick’s Boyd Park floodplain suffers repeat flood inundation, and serves as a protective “sponge” for other parts of New Brunswick. The #lookfortheriver: FRAME sculpture tells the story of infrastructure that is at-risk of flood inundation due to climate change and sea level rise. The sculpture is a living symbol of how removal of structures (in this case a house) from our floodplains allows for ecological restoration and regeneration, and fosters resilience.
