Rahway’s Rain Garden Revitalization
Submitted by Mr. Bob the Gardener
Suez Water recently was thanked for installing a permanent water source at the Rahway Rain Garden to provide supplemental watering for recently planted flowers and shrubs.
Volunteers have been hard at work over the last year replanting and revitalizing Rahway’s Rain Garden located at St. Georges Avenue and Central. The rain garden was created in 2015 and installed by Rutgers University. The rain garden is designed to capture, filter and divert stormwater runoff from St. Georges Ave and Central Ave, thereby helping to decrease flooding. The rain garden is planted with native New Jersey pollinator-friendly plants, providing habitat support for birds, bees, butterflies and beneficial insects.
Volunteers are always welcome to join the Rain Garden Committee. More info can be obtained by calling 732-259-8642.
