Thanks to the generous support of the Chesapeake Bay Trust and several individuals living on Beard's Creek, the Federation will be installing over 10 rain gardens throughout the Beard's Creek watershed, from Edgewater Beach to Annapolis Landing. Several more will be going in over the next week or so, but here are 3 recently installed gardens in Edgewater Beach, Shaded Section.
The first garden, below, captures runoff from a community roadway and infiltrates it into the ground.
The second garden has has a downspout diverted into it and will now capture water that had been running down the driveway into the road.
The third garden involved a curb cut, and now captures water that was previously delivered into a pipe system and discharged into the road.
