Item Description

This basket includes a rain barrel, a $50 gift card to Nicholson Hardware, and a book by Paul Wheaton called "Building a Better World in Your Backyard."

Rani Barrel: Stop sending your rain away! Capture and store your rainwater with a 55-gallon plastic rain barrel to water flowers, rinse garden tools, or keep compost bins moist. Rain barrels are an excellent way to help the environment in urban areas because they reduce storm water runoff that can carry pollutants and sediment directly to creeks and rivers.  The barrels also save you money and precious groundwater supplies. The free stored rainwater is naturally soft and free of chlorine, which is great for use in gardens, on houseplants, lawns, and trees.

The barrel is fully assembled with a screen mesh lid, two overflow spigots, and a bottom drain plug.  These barrels were previously used to ship pickled food overseas. 

Item Special Note

The rain barrel, along with the gift certificate and book, will need to be picked up from the RSO office at Riverfront Museum Park, 711 North Main Street.
