Rain Barrel Workshop

Join us for our rain barrel workshop in the City of Streetsboro!

“Rain barrels help slow the flow of runoff from roofs and other impervious surfaces by storing it for later watering purposes or for release during times when the ground is not saturated. By capturing this water and releasing it when it is not raining the amount of water directly entering local streams through runoff can be greatly reduced.“
