Program Description

Event Details

Rain Barrels & Wicking Gardens

Come learn about the basics and benefits of rain barrels; we’ll build a rain barrel on site. We’ll give the barrel away to a lucky attendee and discuss how you can build your own rain barrel with basic supplies and some simple steps.

This session also includes a demonstration on how to build a wicking garden system. A wicking garden prototype will be built as part of the workshop and it, too, will be given to an attendee.

Water Conservation Series

This session is part of the Water Conservation Series, presented in partnership with Dr. Steven Grainger and Dr. Larry Sunn, rain harvesting consultants with Rain Bees. These workshops were developed in response to common questions and concerns about various topics related to water conservation, water quality, pollution increases, and ecological issues. The workshops provide a brief overview (with a chance for questions and answers) for Texas Hill Country residents to better understand where our water comes from and how to protect this important resource. The 12 sessions in this weekly series take place on Mondays from 12:00pm to 1:30pm beginning June 3rd and ending August 19th. Feel free to bring your lunch while you learn of ways we all can protect our precious water sources!

By registering for this event, you will be registered for all of the sessions in this series and will receive an email reminder the day before each session. Join us for all 12 sessions in this series or just the sessions that interest you!
