This is the perfect time to collect rainwater for use in the garden. Connect a few (or more) barrels together and you’ll be helping to save water and reduce your water bills.

We'll start with an introduction to water saving tips around the home by the EcoMatters Homes Team. Then, entertaining and multi-talented inventor Laurie Dee will show you how to calculate how much rainwater your roof can capture, and how to take practical advantage of it.

The workshop will include step-by-step rain barrel instruction with tips and money saving ideas.

Don’t have a rainbarrel or water tank yet? Join the rainharvesting club! We’ve been running this workshop for over 10 years and it’s still one of our most popular sessions. Rainharvesting never goes out of fashion!
