The benefits of harvesting rainwater are myriad, but good-quality pre-made rain barrels can be pricey. Upstate Forever, in partnership with River Network, is selling 55-gallon rain barrels with retrofit kits for only $40 apiece!
The Rain Barrel Rollout is a campaign to place thousands of rain barrels in communities across the United States, conserving water, saving money, and raising funds for water advocacy organizations.
Pre-order your barrel(s) online at https://www.rivernetwork.org/rn/rainbarrel/, then pick them up on Saturday, May 17, between 9:00 a.m. and noon at McAllister Square in Greenville. Your garden and our rivers will thank you!
are the rain barrels still available? If not, when is the next offering?

As of now (August 22) the city has no rain barrel events planned.
