Hand painted rain barrel, designed and painted by Ashley Martin.  

One side says: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." --Helen Keller

The other side features a picture of the globe and hands.  

Barrel is approximately 40 inches tall and 22 inches wide.

Rain barrels help homeowners reduce the amount of stormwater runoff from their property.  Every gallon of water that is saved in a rain barrel to water plants at a later date is a gallon of water that does not rush to a storm drain, river, or stream during or immediately following a storm.

Reducing stormwater runoff helps to reduce the number of pollutants in our rivers and streams, and also helps to reduce flooding.  The gradual infiltration of water into the ground also recharges our groundwater supply which supplies all drinking water in our area.
