I took this image earlier this week of the Ryan Kiblin Memorial Stormwater Park.
This garden trail is named in honor of the Chautauqua Institution’s gardens, grounds, and landscape manager, who died during
pregnancy a year ago.
This lovely stretch of land includes native trees,
perennials and shrubs, but it also has a utilitarian and far-seeing
purpose: to filter excess nitrogen and phosphorous from stormwater before it
reaches Chautauqua Lake, the body of water that this Victorian Era community is
located by.
