    History:

    This rain garden was designed by the students of the Biotechnology High School in    
    the Spring of 2009 with the assistance of Bill Sciarappa, Agricultural Agent for Rutgers
    Cooperative Extension of Monmouth County. In Summer 2009, the rain garden was
    expanded upon as part of the Rain Garden Certification Pilot Program.  This rain
    garden serves as an outdoor classroom for the students of the Biotechnology High
    School and their guests.  In Spring 2010, this rain garden was utilized as part of a
    field trip experience for students in the Freehold Township School District.

    the installation of this rain garden in the Summer of 2009.  This rain garden
