On September 23, 2015, almost 3,000 plants were installed at Connie Batdorf Park to create a vegetated bioswale. Many thanks to the twenty four students from the Owen J Roberts Horticulture Department who assisted Township employees and volunteers to plant this new bioswale!
The project was funded by a grant won this summer by South Coventry Township as part of Pottstown Health and Wellness Foundation’s “On Your Park, Get Set, Go” Park Contest.
For more information and pictures from the planting, check out the Owen J. Roberts News blog post – Bioswale Hands-on Learning.
