Building your own rain barrel is fun and easy, and best of all, you'll have your very own barrel to take home with you by lunch time! This workshop is meant for individuals interested in saving water and reducing rainwater runoff which can carry pollutants to our streams and bay. Disconnecting your downspouts to redirect water towards your gardens or lawn will be discussed as well. The water you save can be used for garden and lawn watering, washing your car or tools, or it can simply be released more gradually into the ground (your lawn) where it can recharge our groundwater supplies. Save water, save money, and save our streams all at the same time!
