Rain barrels enable users to store water for later use, reduce usage and save money. Taught by Arboretum conservation director Joe Blanton, guests will learn how a one-time investment of less than $100 will harvest 50 gallons of water when it rains.

Cost of workshop includes materials to make one rain barrel. All tools will be supplied. Additional barrels and conversion kits will be available for sale for $55.
