Rain Barrel Workshop: Includes a U-Build-It Rain Barrel

Looking for a unique Christmas gift idea? Join us at Canterbury Farms Nursery & Garden Center for a special paid Rain Barrel Workshop presented by UF/IFAS Extension Pasco County.
This hands-on workshop will explain the benefits and functions of rain barrels for water harvesting and guide participants through building their own rain barrel to take home. You’ll learn how to build, install, and use your rain barrel to help collect and reuse rainwater in your landscape.
It’s also a great gift for the gardener, homeowner, or plant lover in your life — and the best part is, you can say you made it yourself!
Each rain barrel holds approximately 55 gallons, though there may be slight style, size, or gallon variation.
