Rainbarrel Workshops

Rainwater is better for your plants and helps conserve our supply of drinkable water.

All GreenThumb Certified nurseries are eligible to host free Rainbarrel Workshops for the public.

This two hour workshop, held on the grounds of our GreenThumb Certified nurseries will walk you through making your own 50 gallon rainbarrel, how to set it up at your house, and other inventive uses.

1. Have a gutter system with a downspout on your home.
2. Can attend one of the 2 hour rainbarrel assembly workshops.
