Saving Money & Saving Water—It Just Makes Sense!

Did you notice the recent rain we had? If you were at our rainwater harvesting workshop, not only did you get a chance to see our watershed garden in action, but you were able to take a rain barrel home for only $10!

That’s right. Thanks to a great incentive through SoCal Water Smart, most Los Angeles county residents are eligible to receive a rebate of up to $75 per barrel. So workshop participants learned how to make every drop of rain count, and then were able to go home with barrels all for less than the cost of a dinner out.

But don’t worry if you missed it, because we have another free workshop coming up on February 1. We’ll have rain barrels there that normally retail for $150, for a low price of just $85. Buy up to four, submit your rebate and go home with the ability to capture over 200 gallons of water!
