2018 Denver Rain Barrel Workshop - Connecting Colorado to Water

In 2016, it became legal to collect water from your gutters to water your lawn, garden, and flowers on your own property. Since then, rain barrels have been all the rage, and Colorado residents are all getting excited about this new way to garden and save on their water bill at the same time! Water Education Colorado is partnering with the River Network to host a Rain Barrel Workshop on April 20th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Blue Moon Brewery in Denver where participants will actually build their own rain barrel and get to take it home with them!
