Earth Day Rain Barrels in Knoxville

15 years ago

Super water barrels will be available for $90 in connection with Earth Day. I got this information from Parci Gibson who spoke at the East Tennessee Plant Swap last spring.

Save money through water conservation!

The Water Quality Forum, Keep Blount Beautiful and the Lower Clinch Watershed Council are teaming up to sell rain barrels for this year's EarthFest on April 18th at Pellissippi College. The 65 gallon barrels are made with 100% recycled plastic and are equipped with a child-resistant lid! Order your $90.00 rain barrel now and start saving blue and green! All orders must be received by March 1, 2009. A $25.00 deposit is required. Barrels will be available for pick-up at Earthfest from 11am-6pm.

Call Peg at Ijams Nature Center [(865) 577-4717-1 ext 14] for more information and to reserve your barrel.
