Rainwater Harvesting & DIY Irrigation

Want to make better use of rainwater and keep your garden growing with less effort and cost?

This practical workshop introduces rainwater harvesting and simple DIY irrigation systems that can be set up at home using affordable, readily available materials. We’ll explore real examples and discuss options suited to different spaces — from small backyards to larger gardens.

You’ll learn:
