Harvesting the Rain: Challenges and Opportunities, 1:00-3:00pm: Our ‘winter rain environment’ here on the West Coast poses unique challenges and opportunities for harvesting rainfall. On the one hand, our frost line is virtually non-existing making large tanks easily installed for year-round use. On the other hand, it simply doesn’t rain much during irrigation season, seriously limiting the amount that can be used in summer time.
=0D=0A=By looking at a few examples, this workshop will explore some of the ways we can optimize rainfall in our climate, from rain-tanks to ponds to rain gardens. $20, must pre-register: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/harvesting-the-rain-challenges-and-opportunities-tickets-16238857861
