ENVIRONMENT Students will help plant rain garden at rec center
Associated Press
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said she looked forward to the planting.
Students will have the opportunity to get their hands dirty and celebrate Earth Day today by volunteering to help create the new rain garden on the north side of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.
"I can't wait for the dirt to fly," Chappell said. "We want good weather and want people to come out and see that this is what students can do when they put their ideas together."
The rain garden project has been under way for nearly two years, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, students can volunteer to help plant nearly 2,500 plants.
Rain water collected from the roof of the recreation center will go through a series of pipes that will open up in 11 different places to water the garden.
England Porter, Independence senior, said the garden would contain only plants that were native to the Kansas environment. Porter said prairie grasses, flowering plants, Echinacea and gooseberries were a few of the 22 different species of plants that would grow in the rain garden.
"Native plants allow for more native species to come to the garden." Porter said. "There will be more butterflies, birds, worms and bugs."
Porter said she hoped to see a few hundred people show up to volunteer to plant in the 5,500 square-foot garden.
and the recreation center are responsible for some of the funding for the rain garden project, and Coca-Cola will give volunteers free refreshments.
