Quench the thirst of your plants with free water from a rain barrel.
Water collected in rain barrels provides a source of chlorine-free, ambient temperature water which is a great drink for a happy garden.
Rain barrels cost $51-$55 each (depending on the municipality) and can be picked up any of the sales events listed below. Pre-orders are not required but are recommended as supply is finite. You can pre-order at www.enviroworld.ca/vancouver
