Building Rain Barrels from Salvaged Materials Monday, May 17, 2004
6:30 - 8:00 pm Hans Christian Andersen School $35; registration required GreenSpace Partners, working with the Seward Neighborhood Group, is offering a May 17 workshop on building rain barrels from salvaged materials. Rain barrels will be constructed using reconditioned food grade plastic barrels, discarded garden hoses, and other easy-to-find materials. Rain barrels provide a low-tech opportunity to harvest the rain water that flows off your rooftop and save this water for use in your garden. You may have seen our demonstration rain barrel at the Twin Cities Greening Coalition table at the Living Green Expo. Our rain barrels are designed to keep out mosquitoes, leaves, and squirrels. The barrels have a hose attachment so that you can water your garden directly from the barrel. The fee for the workshop is $35, and this fee will include rain barrel materials. You will leave the workshop with a completed rain barrel. Andersen School is located on 12th Avenue South between 27th and 28th Streets in South Minneapolis. Registration for this workshop will close May 14. For registration or other information, contact Corrie Zoll, [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 612-278-7119.
