Rain Barrel Workshop

Presented Harford Land Trust and University of Maryland Sea Grant Extension.

This is a Grow Wild program sponsored by Harford County Government.

Saturday, September 12, 2026 – 10 am – 12 pm

TIDEWATER MARINA – 100 Bourbon Street, Havre de Grace, MD

COST: $35/PER HOUSEHOLD (includes one rain barrel, 55-gallon capacity with connector to attach to your downspout.)

Rain barrels help reduce pollution in our local creeks and streams. The water collected in rain barrels can irrigate lawns and gardens, wash cars, or infiltrate back into the ground during drier periods.

Join Harford Land Trust (HLT) and Claire Cambardella, Watershed Restoration Specialist for the University of Maryland Sea Grant Extension, for a workshop to learn more about rain barrel benefits, build your own rain barrel to take home, and find out how to install and maintain them. This workshop is for homeowners, businesses, and/or faith-based organizations interested in conserving water while reducing stormwater runoff from their property. It’s an environmentally-friendly and economic way to water your garden!
