Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) invites you to attend a Rain Barrel Workshop on Saturday, February 21, 2015 from 9:30-11:30am at the Eddie V. Gray Wetlands Education and Recreation Center in Baytown, TX. Rain barrels are an efficient, low-cost method for collecting rainwater. They are placed at downspouts in order to catch rainwater and reduce runoff into storm drains, and the accumulated rainwater can be used for watering a garden or houseplants, among many other uses. Attendees at this workshop will learn the benefits of rain barrels, how to use them, as well as proper location and installation.
Workshop participants can turn their rain barrels into unique and artist landscape features.
Pre-registration is required. The cost is $30, which includes admission to the workshop, a 35-gallon recycled barrel, and a connector kit. To register, visit www.galvbay.org/rainbarrel. Contact Neally Rhea at [email protected] or 281-332-3381, extension 220 for more details. Space is limited, so register soon!
This workshop is made possible thanks to the following sponsors: Lyondell Basell, Coca-Cola Bottling Company, and the City of Baytown.
