San Juan Capistrano Ecology Center Rainwater Harvesting Workshop is Saturday February 18 2017.
This workshop is from 10:00am to 12:00pm for persons 18 and over.
While Southern California doesn’t get much rainfall, what we do get adds up quickly!
Learn how to harness this resource for the benefit of our oceans and your garden.
Just 1” of rain yields 600 gallons of water per 1000 sq. ft. of garden or roof space.
By designing your space to capture, absorb, and redirect rainfall, you can make use of this resource while preventing runoff pollution after a storm.
One simple and impactful solution is to install a rain barrel.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
Understand how to install a rain barrel at your home.
Be familiar with a variety of rainwater catchment system types, applications, tools, and maintenance requirements.
This will include water friendly garden design, drip irrigation, backyard earthworks, grey water systems, and retrofitting opportunities.
All attendees will have access to discount pricing on rain barrels and installation kits.
Please wear closed-toe shoes and clothing suitable for gardening in the outdoors.
It is recommended that you bring a garden hat, sunscreen and a reusable water bottle/canteen.
