Rain Barrel Workshop | Brook Park

Collect rainwater for outdoor use and help stop stormwater pollution in your community by making a rain barrel!

A rain barrel is a container that collects and stores rainwater that would normally flow into a storm drain untreated. You can then use the collected water to water your lawn and garden.

This workshop is a rain barrel pickup. You will receive a barrel and a kit that has everything you need to make your barrel at home with a drill and a screwdriver. If you do not have these tools, please contact the organizer. 

The $60 fee covers all materials, including a 60-gallon barrel, drill bits, and a downspout diverter. If you want to create a two-barrel system, you can get a second barrel and linking kit for $40. You must pre-pay below and register for the workshop.

Registration is now closed. Be sure to bring a vehicle that can accommodate your barrel(s)!

Barrel dimensions are 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall.
