Rain Barrel Building presented by
Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy. Rain Barrels: Most homesteads, farms and even urban homes once had a rain barrel or cistern to store rainwater for other uses. Rain water is "soft water" and is very easy on plants and even cars. Even if you don't use the rainwater in the barrel for any specific purpose, you can reduce the negative impacts of stormwater by allowing the rain barrel to empty slowly.
Perkiomen Watershed presents Rain Barrels Workshop, Saturday, May 20, 9:00am
Fee*: $55 Members/ $65 Nonmembers
*Advance registration required.
Location: The Conservancy, 1 Skippack Pike, Schwenksville, PA
