DECATUR, Ga. – Keep DeKalb Beautiful will host a rain barrel workshop on Wednesday, June 7, at 6:30 p.m., located at Mason Mill Park, 1340 McConnell Drive, Decatur. The session will use kits and recycled barrels, and participants will take home a completed project.
Several metro-Atlanta counties, including DeKalb, are in a Level 2 drought, which mandates outdoor water restrictions. Rain barrels harvest roof runoff, which can be used to irrigate landscape plants or gardens. Just 1 inch of rain on a 1,000-square-foot roof provides 623 gallons of water.
The rain barrel workshop is $10 and limited to 25 participants. To register, call Keep DeKalb Beautiful at 404-298-4080.
