Have you ever thought “What a waste!” when you see the rain water pouring out of your gutter downspout and then flowing down the street? By attending this class you will learn how to capture that water in a mini-cistern, a 55 gallon recycled plastic barrel. The collected water may then be used when needed for your landscape, potted plants, vegetable and herb gardens, and special plant collections. All attendees will receive set-up instructions and a reference booklet.

Advance registration is required, and if you would like to purchase a rain barrel ($30 plus tax), that may be done when you register. To purchase a rain barrel choose “Participant with Rain Barrel” on step 4 of the online registration process. Your rain barrel will then be available for pick up at the class. If you do not want to purchase a rain barrel, use the drop-down arrow and “Participant” to register to attend this free class.
