Rain Water Harvesting Workshop at the Arboretum

Rain Water Harvesting Workshop at the Arboretum

Monsoon season brings some of the most precious water the Colorado Plateau receives all year — and with the right techniques, you can make every drop count. Join Water Conservation Specialist Emily Melhorn for a hands-on look at rainwater harvesting strategies you can put to work at home, from simple barrel collection to landscape-scale earthworks.

Whether you’re a longtime gardener or just getting started, Emily will walk you through practical methods for capturing and storing rainwater efficiently — so your plants (and the watershed) benefit long after the clouds clear.

Plus: Enter a raffle for a chance to win a free rain barrel and start harvesting right away.
