Rain Barrel Workshop – Westlake

Where: Market Square at Crocker Park, 239 Market Street Westlake, OH 44145

REGISTRATION CLOSED

Learn how to harvest rainwater for all your garden needs and to combat stormwater pollution in your community by constructing a rain barrel!

Cuyahoga SWCD will present a rain barrel workshop and pick-up event hosted by the City of Westlake at Market Square at Crocker Park on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 from 6:30-8:00pm.

Participants will learn how to assemble and install their rain barrels at this event. Alternatively, participants can pick up their rain barrel and construct at home with provided online instructional video.

The $60 fee includes instruction and all materials, including a 60-gallon barrel, drill bits, and a downspout diverter. If you would like to create a two-barrel system, a second barrel and connector kit is available for an additional $40.

Registration is required by May 15th. Be sure to bring a vehicle that can accommodate your barrel(s)!

A rain barrel is a container used to collect and store rainwater that would otherwise be lost to runoff and likely diverted to a storm drain. Collected water may then be used to water lawns and gardens.
