Watersheds & Rain Barrels Workshop participants will learn how to harvest rainwater from their roofs, store it, and use it in the landscape. You will also learn how to reduce your contribution to combined sewer overflow (CSO), flooding, and polluted urban runoff by learning how to practice watershed protection and conservation in their own backyards. It’s easier than you think! Registrants may also choose to purchase a FreeGarden RAIN barrel with their workshop ticket. This barrel has a 55-gallon capacity and is ideal for urban and suburban areas
