This past Saturday, we hosted a Rain Barrel Workshop at our Educational Garden, and what a great day it was! A big thank you to Master Gardener Kim Garcia for leading the workshop and sharing the many benefits of harvesting rainwater.
Attendees learned how rain barrels can help conserve water, reduce runoff, and provide a sustainable source of irrigation for gardens and landscapes. We had rain barrels available for purchase which is perfect timing with the rainy weather forecasted for this week!
Of course, no garden event would be complete without a special guest appearance from our garden cat, Gigi, who happily joined in on the fun and supervised the workshop activities.
The garden has been especially busy lately with all the recent rain. Our volunteers have been hard at work keeping up with maintenance and are currently refreshing our Butterfly Garden and Native Plant Garden. Thank you to our wonderful Master Gardeners for their dedication, hard work, and for always making garden work enjoyable!
