Holiday Lake West Civic Association has been working on a community garden with Code Green Community's help for the past 8 months. Since it's inception we have modeled ourselves to seek water conservation techniques to ensure our garden used the least amount of water during the drought months.

We want to take that a step further by only using rain water from now on. Introducing Holiday Lake West's Rain Barrel Workshop. This rain barrel workshop costs $55 and will be a fundraiser for our garden hosted at the Civic Association on August 22nd, from 10 - 11:30 am. You will receive a barrel and all the parts needed to construct your rain barrel. Afterwards a water conservation class will be taught as well regarding water saving techniques such as drip irrigation and soaker hoses.

The E-vite and registration for the workshop can be found here. Due to the nature of the workshop we will require the cost of the workshop upfront. For more information please feel free to call 727-410-9642 or email flowersandotherthings@yahoo.com. The event will be held at Holiday Lake Estates Community Center- 2728 Holiday Lake Drive, Holiday, FL 34691.

Our goal is to raise enough money to be able to purchase and install 20 rain barrels for our community garden. This will allow us to utilize nothing but the rain from our heads to irrigate our little Eden.
