Master Gardener Greg Sullivan will discuss rain barrel and rain collection systems. We will look at a few examples of the many ways to collect rain water, the reasons why we collect it and the ways to use it.

We will learn how to estimate the volume of water that is available for collection, how to size a system for your home or garden and how to set up a series of barrels to hold the water and make it ready for use.

Rain barrels are not provided at this event.
