Rain Barrels for Water Harvesting

Rain Barrels for Water Harvesting

Learn how a simple rain barrel can make a big difference for your home and community. In this workshop, the Florida Master Gardener Volunteers of Lee County will explain local water challenges like nutrient pollution from fertilizer, runoff, and septic systems, along with drought impacts on our aquifer. You’ll see how collecting rainwater helps reduce runoff, conserve drinking water, and protect water quality. The session includes an easy, hands-on demonstration showing how to set up and maintain your own rain barrel. Perfect for homeowners and gardeners, this class gives you practical, simple steps to help protect our water, starting right in your own yard.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment while beautifying your outdoor space. See you there!

Rain barrels can be bought at $65 on the Cape Coral Event page.
