Thought about greening your house? Collecting to runoff from your roof or composting? Need some help getting started?
The Herring Run Watershed Association , at 3545 Belair Road, has some workshops coming up (if you miss these, just check back in a bit for the next class).
The next rain barrel workshop is from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. March 18. You'll learn about construction and installation and build your own barrel. It will collect storm water runoff that would wash into area waterways and save municipal water if you use it on the garden. Cost is $55 for members and $65 for non-members. Email Ashley to register at atraut@herringrun.org or call 410-254-1577 ext. 103.
The vermiculture workshop is from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. March 24. You'll learn about worms and build your own worm "condo." This saves on garbage when you let the worms do their thing instead of throwing away table scraps. The program is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Same contact.
