Join us for a Rain Barrel Workshop taking place at this year's Macatawa Water Festival.

Program participants will build a rain barrel to take home and learn how these systems capture rainwater to irrigate lawns & gardens for free while protecting local waterways. For an additional fee, participants may choose to have their rain barrel painted by local artists at CultureWorks the week after our workshop (to be picked up at a later date, see details below). 

 

We are currently offering this workshop from 10-10:30am, which has enough room for 10 barrels to be built. If there are more people interested, we will open a second 11-11:30am workshop for up to 10 additional barrels. This is a first-come, first-served arrangement, and any registrations after those first 10 barrels will be scheduled as if they are 11-11:30 (despite this event stating 10-10:30). If you have any questions as to when you are registered for, please email sarahi@outdoordiscovery.org.

Suggested age range: 14-99 yo

Guardians stay with the class.

Registration required (one rain barrel per registration.) Families welcome. 

 

Fee: $20 to build a non-painted rain barrel, $40 for a painted barrel (decorated by artists at CultureWorks. An example of their previous designs can be seen here. Designs painted on your barrel will be different than what is shown via this link.) 

 

For those that opt to make a non-painted barrel, you will need to take your barrel home at the end of the workshop.

 

For those that opt to have their barrel painted, your completed barrel will be available for pickup 8/19 10:30am-5:30pm or 8/20, 9am-12pm from CultureWorks (24 W 6th St, Holland, MI 49423).
