Rain BARREL/ Rain GARDEN WORKSHOPAges 13-Adult
Cost: $50 per barrel (includes materials) or $8 to attend the
presentation and not create a rain barrel
Guest presenters: Lauren Theis and Daniel Correa, Raritan Headwaters
Association
A rain barrel is attached to your home's gutter and collects rainwater
that can be used for watering plants. This is a great way to prevent
runoff that may collect pollution, and also prevent erosion. Rain
gardens also collect storm water, but direct it straight into a
garden that cleans the water by trapping pollutants in the stems of
the native plants while draining the clean water back into the
groundwater. Lauren Theis of Raritan Headwaters Association will
show us the importance of saving rain water and teach us to do it
effectively. Those who are interested can create a rain barrel ($50
option). To attend the presentation and receive literature but not
create a rain barrel, the cost is $8. Participants will be given a
free packet of native wildflower seeds.
