Rain Barrel Workshop

To purchase a rain barrel (or barrels), use the "Get tickets" button and then the Eventbrite "Purchase rain barrel(s)" add-on to order and pay for barrels. Purchase orders must be completed prior to the workshop (as noted in the add-on). To purchase after the class, please email request information to [email protected], with the subject line as "Rain Barrel."

During this class you will learn how the use of rain barrels can conserve water, save money by reducing the use of potable water in landscapes (lower utility bills), and reduce stormwater runoff by storing and diverting runoff from impervious surfaces (like roofs). Practical tips on the construction and installation of rain barrels will be provided. After the workshop, we will have a Q/A session with the instructor, our Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ community educator, and a Sarasota County Air & Water Quality representative. Bring any questions you might have concerning UF/IFAS Extension or the environment.

Please register for this event ONLY at ufsarasotaext.eventbrite.com rather than any third-party websites, as they are not affiliated with our classes and events.
