Description: We all know that when it rains, it pours; and with the right rain barrel, some of that rainwater can be saved. By collecting rainwater and storing it in a rain barrel, you’ll not only have water for future use in the garden, but you’ll also reduce your water bill!

In this hands-on, make and take workshop, learn how a one-time investment of less than $100 will allow you to harvest over 50 gallons of water from your roof every time it rains.

Instructor: Joe Blanton, the Arboretum’s Conservation Director, is certified by National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard Habitat Designer. Before joining the Arboretum staff, Joe designed, implemented and/or managed 16 outdoor environmental education classrooms for Urban Harvest and HISD. His latest undertaking has been to become one of the first 100 accredited Green Roof professionals in North America.
