Build a Rain Barrel and Save on Your Water Bill

Join the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (CRK) and learn how to make your own rain barrel in this hands-on workshop at the Oakhurst Garden. Collecting rain water in rain barrels for use during dry months is an excellent way to conserve water and reduce your water bill. During the workshop, citizens will be instructed on rain barrel set-up and maintenance, water conservation landscaping, and learn about why rain harvesting is especially important in times of drought. All supplies included! This type of rain barrel may normally cost over $100. Thanks to CRK and friends, we can offer this class at cost. If you have one- bring a drill and eye protection. This is a material intensive class. This class is limited to 25 participants. Please register at https://app.etapestry.com/cart/OakhurstCommunityGardenProj/default/index.php by September 9. All participants will receive a one-year membership to CRK. This is an outdoor class, so in case of rain the workshop will be rescheduled for September 25.

Cost: $40
