The Midland Secondary School Horticulture Club will host a truckload sale of rain barrels on Saturday, April 21st at the school from 9 am to 1 pm. Rain barrels will be sold for $60 each and funds raised will support the club’s efforts to beautify the schoolyard and subsidize field trips.
Rain barrels capture and store rain water collected from roofs through downspouts. They provide chlorine-free and fluoride-free water which is ideal for flowers, vegetables, lawns, shrubs and trees. Rain barrels divert clean water from sewer systems and can provide cost savings for homeowners who currently pay to have water trucked in or who have a water meter installed.
Each rain barrel available through the MSS Horticulture Club is equipped with a mosquito and leaf debris filter basket, an overflow hose, an outlet to join rain barrels together in series and a spigot at the bottom which can be connected to a standard garden hose. These environmentally friendly products were once used to import fruits and vegetables and have been refurbished and repurposed to offer years of reliable services as rain barrels. They are available in three colours including grey, terracotta and black. All orders must be placed online in advance at www.RainBarrel.ca/MSS or by calling 705-526-7817 ext. 41840.
