Blooms of the Rain Garden

Earlier this Spring a group of residents got their hands dirty as well as their knees turning over the soil of what was to be our Community Center's rain garden.  Thanks to those hard working Bettertonians and a somewhat wet summer, those plants they placed have come into their own.  According to the Rain Garden Committee more plants are scheduled to be added as the Fall season comes upon us.  In the meantime, enjoy these pictures and offer your thoughts on rain gardens, their beauty and their value.  I'm sure that Joan Zellers, Kim Kohl , Mare Smith and Merceda can add their knowledge and expertise to this blog post.

  1. Joan Zellers, our fearless President of the BCBC, comments: "It has been a busy Summer for BCDC. The rain garden is beautiful thanks to Merceda and Mary Ann for weeding it recently. We will be planting additional plants this fall and could use help with that. I will keep you posted. Also, the signs have been ordered and should be here soon. The signs will help everyone understand the purpose of rain gardens and how they can be incorporated into a homeowner's landscape. There will also be an educational tri-fold for the Community Center."
