Rain Barrels and Rain Gardens

  • Thursday, April 28, 2016, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Water-wise gardeners capture rain and keep it safely on the property with rain barrels and rain gardens. These systems help sustain plants during short droughts, save money on water bills, and reduce stress on public water systems. For people with private wells, rain gardens are a simple but attractive way to recharge ground water.
