Make your own rain barrel with the City of Atlanta’s DWM Care and Conserve program!

Posted by Our Green Atlanta on July 12, 2009

The City of Atlanta and the Department of Watershed Management invite you to join your Atlanta and Decatur neighbors in learning how to mke your own rain barrel! Whether we’re in a drought or not, rain barrels are a fantastic way to collect water to service your garden in any capacity. And who doesn’t like free water? You can save on your bills by having one (or more rain barrels). Plus, they’re surprisingly easy to construct yourself! At this event, you will assemble and paint your own rain barrel to take home. Read more about this event here!

  • What: Make your own rain barrel to take home (and eat lunch courtesy of the Department of Watershed Management!)

  • Where: City of Atlanta, Water Works Lodge, 655 Green Street, Atlanta, GA 30318 (map it!)
