make your own rain barrel workshop

From Tricycle Gardens:

Participants will receive a 55 gallon #2 plastic food grade barrel with all the necessary components to make a usable rain collector. Tools and helpers will be on hand to assist in the assembling.

We will discuss and explain set up and maintenance of your rain barrel as well as offering a few suggestions for the more adventurous DIYers for converting heavy duty plastic garbage cans into functional rain collectors. We will discuss how the use of rain barrels can be a component in reducing our negative impact on our local waterways and help foster a stronger connection with the health and well being of our diverse and complex ecology. SPACE IS LIMITED, reservations required.

LOCATION: Tricycle Gardens Headquarters, 211 West 7th St (old Manchester)
DATE/TIME: Oct.4 10am-2pm
COST: $65/barrel
