MAKING RAIN BARRELS FOR THE SPRING GARDEN
Action at one of Sustainable Lawrence's two rain barrel-outfitting events during our "Green Everything Days of Spring" (March 20-26). Here employees of the Delaware River Basin Commission in West Trenton prepare their own rain barrels on March 24. Sustainable Lawrence is tracking down further donations of rain barrels and can show you how to put one together and install it. You'll potentially save thousands of gallons of unnecessary runoff and assure a steady water source for your garden. It's all pretty simple, actually. Contact us at 609-895-1629 to get on the list. First come, first served!
