Rain Barrel Workshop

Jun 18, 2016 - 10:00am to Jun 19, 2016 - 11:45am

On June 18 join us at Rivard Plaza for a Rain Barrel Workshop presented by the Sierra Club and Michigan Rain Barrel. Come learn about the benefits of rain barrels and how to put one together. Rain Barrels help reduce storm-water runoff,  save money on your water bill and help your plants by providing them with “softer” un-treated water.

If you would like to make your own barrel to take home. Barrels will be offered a special workshop only reduced price of $50. You can pre purchase your barrel from Maxi Container and it will be waiting for you at the workshop. To purchase contact Michigan Rain Barrel by calling (313) 891-3880. If you are unable to afford the reduced price of $50 to build your barrel you can apply for a scholarship barrel by clicking  here
