Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop

Join the RPBCWD for a Build Your Own Rain Barrel workshop! Rain barrels help reduce the amount of runoff flowing across your property by capturing and storing rainwater from your roof, which can then be reused to water your garden or irrigate your lawn. This workshop will walk you through how to convert a retired oak wine barrel into a beautiful rain barrel of your very own. Please be aware that barrels are used and may have visual imperfections (though we think this adds to the charm!)

Workshop attendees must be residents of the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District. Check if you live in the District here. Limit 1barrel per household, though you may bring a friend or family member to help put together your barrel.

Note: Barrels are heavy - over 100 pounds - and attendees are responsible for transporting their barrel home with them after the workshop.
