Spring Flower Show and Presentation on Rain Gardens for the Homeowner

Horticultural Society of South Jersey

Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 7:00 pm-- The Horticultural Society of South Jersey will present its annual members’ Spring Flower Show at the Carmen Tilelli Community Center, 820 Mercer Street, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002. During judging, Mike Haberland, associate professor and County Environmental Agent for Burlington and Camden Counties with Rutgers University Cooperative Extension will present a program “Rain Gardens for Homeowners”.

Rain gardens are specifically designed to soak up rain water, mainly from roofs, but also from driveways, patios, other impervious surfaces. Rain gardens look like regular flower gardens but when it rains, a rain garden fills with a few inches of water and allows the water to slowly filter into the ground rather than running off into storm sewers. Free and open to the public. For more information visit the website-www.HSSJ.org. or call Gwenne Baile, 856-816-8508. “Like” our Facebook page.
