Opequon Creek Project Team
Rain Gardens
Judicial
Center
In summer – fall of 2006, the Team helped to design and
construct a
rain garden to hold and filter runoff from a large parking lot at the
Berkeley County Judicial Center in Martinsburg, WV. The garden
was
dedicated on November 2, 2007 and a number of dignitaries were present,
including Stephanie Timmermeyer, Secretary of the West
Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. At the
dedication, a sign describing the benefits of rain gardens and listing
the partners involved in the project was unveiled. In the spring
of 2008, the Team, again with the help of the Master Gardeners,
installed a terraced garden on the slope draining into the rain
garden.

In the spring of 2008, the Team installed another rain garden
at the
intersection of Baltimore and Randolph Streets in Martinsburg,
WV. This installation was funded through a grant received from
the
WV Department of Environmental Protection's Nonpoint Source
Program.
