Rain Barrel Workshop

Ready to turn rain into a resource? For just $65, grab a complete Rain Barrel Kit, which includes a sturdy 55-gallon, food-grade barrel and everything you need to transform it into your very own rain-catching system! Join us for a fun, hands-on demonstration where we'll walk you through assembling your barrel step-by-step.

Plus, our expert Master Gardeners will be there to guide you and answer all your questions—whether it's about hooking your barrel up to a gutter or optimizing your setup. It's a perfect way to save water, support your garden, and learn some new skills—all in one morning!
