The "rain garden" planned recently by the Somerset Master Gardener volunteers in Skowhegan is on hold.
The project is officially the Hybrid Bioretention Cell Vegetated Underdrain Soil Filter planned in conjunction with the Whitten Brook restoration, in the works for 3 year now, Master Gardeners were asked to participate this summer as plans for construction drew nearer. The MGV's were tapped to do the planning, choosing local native plants and participate in the planting. Lack of the appropriate materials to construct the base essentially put the planting on hold, possibly until spring, since the site won't be ready until this coming spring.
