Backyard Rainwater Harvesting
The North Shore receives 2522mm (95inches) of rainfall on average each year! Let's put some of that water to work when our summers become dry. Learn rainwater harvesting techniques for your backyard or garden. Come to this workshop to learn about the basic rainwater collection systems available, how to get the most out of your rainwater harvesting, and applications and benefits of rainwater harvesting.
