(9/28/2012) In September 2012, A.D. Marble & Company, along with volunteers from the Valley Forge Chapter of Trout Unlimited (VFTU), coordinated a planting event with Conestoga High School students to install plugs and additional seed throughout a recently designed bioretention swale. This event proved to be an excellent opportunity to teach students about creative stormwater management solutions while connecting them with the schools’ many ‘green’ solutions employed on the campus. Long-term maintenance will be provided by VFTU and the high school to insure the establishment of the native rain garden plant cover.
In 2011, A.D. Marble & Company designed and constructed the bioretention swale to manage stormwater runoff from adjacent ballfields on the Conestoga High School campus with a Growing Greener grant. This project, completed in coordination with VFTU and Conestoga High School, represents an ongoing initiative by VFTU to improve water quality within Crabby Creek; a tributary in the Exceptional Value designated Valley Creek Watershed. The project involved the excavation of compacted gravel, rock, and soil, backfilling with an organic soil mixture, sowing with a rain garden seed mixture, and installation of a precast concrete box inlet to handle overflows associated with large storm events.

(1/5/2012) A.D. Marble & Company Principal Archaeologist Judson Kratzer, presented the topic, Glass House Experimentation in 19th-Century Philadelphia, at the 45th Annual Conference on Historical & Underwater Archaeology in Baltimore, Maryland.
A photograph and synopsis of his topic are provided below:
The early to mid-nineteenth century witnessed a number of horticultural developments focused on scientific study. Individuals were interacting through scientific recording and experimentation to improve agricultural and horticultural pursuits. Notably, the understanding of the construction, operation, and use of glass houses to produce viable crops of grapes and other fruits and vegetables grew in importance in the Delaware Valley. Several individuals within the region made significant contributions to this developing trend of glass house operation and the advancement of horticultural practice. Period garden books for the general population, garden diaries, and construction manuals for horticultural buildings indicate the depth of thought and empirical knowledge emerging from these activities. Physical examples of those efforts within the Philadelphia region have been studied through the archaeological records at Andalusia, Grumblethorpe, and the Highlands. The archaeological research at these properties will highlight glass house usage and the application of scientific principles.
