City of Columbia Hosts Rain Barrel Workshop

Get smart … harvest rainwater! The City of Columbia is hosting a rain barrel workshop on Saturday, June 10, at Greenview Park, located at 6700 David Street, in Columbia. Harvesting rainwater can help one save money. In addition, rainwater is great for garden irrigation.

Park rangers will demonstrate how to put together and install a rain barrel. City of Columbia residents that attend a workshop can also qualify for a free rain barrel (one per household) to take home. As a note, Midlands area residents outside of the city are welcome to attend the workshop but must purchase their discounted rain barrels online prior to the event.

For more information, call Jennifer Satterthwaite at 803-545-0184.
