On Friday, March 12, the Carolina Children's Garden acquired its own
rain barrel! Special thanks to Hugh Caldwell and Mary Jane Henderson of
the Richland Conservation District for donating the rain barrel and to
the Gutterman for installing it at MacDonald's Historic Crops Farm.
Do you have a rain barrel?
Want to conserve water, reduce stormwater runoff, prevent pollution,
save money, and have a beautiful, lush lawn? Invest in a rain barrel!
Rain barrels allow you to use rainwater to irrigate lawns and gardens.
For more information about rain barrels and other ways you can help
protect our nation's waterways, consult the
Carolina Clear website.
Conserving water decreases the amount of run-off. Watch an introductory video below on the Carolina Clear 'Make Your Own' Rain Barrel Workshops.
