Harness Creek Rain Gardenby erik |

The same day that some Federation volunteers were planting marsh grasses in London Towne, others were planting a recently installed rain garden designed to capture stormwater above Harness Creek. The project was funded with a generous mini grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust and is aimed at protecting tidal wetland habitat around Harness Creek. The rain garden is approximately 675 sq/ft, and captures the runoff from several large homes near the waterfront.
Below, Federation volunteers Kevin Green and John Flood plant wetland shrubs and herbaceous vegetation in the rain garden.
Below is a picture of the finished rain garden shortly after a storm.
