When is the last time you made your very own paper? If the answer is anything between never and when I was a kid, it's time. Traditional paper comes at the cost of felling millions of trees each year, and hardly any of this paper is recycled to be reused. Let's try an alternative solution. Join us for this engaging, hands-on workshop where we will teach you how to make basic paper out of plant pulp sourced from common backyard invasive plants. If you happen to have some extra garlic mustard or phragmites growing in the backyard, now you'll know how to repurpose these invasive plants into decorative paper, and let the trees breathe a sigh of relief! Registration is required.

Our apologies - this workshop has been cancelled.   When it pours, it stores! Capture the rainwater that runs through your home’s downspout and you’ll always have 55 gallons of free water available for things like watering your garden and washing your car. When the power goes out, it’s an excellent backup water source for flushing. Using a recycled, food-grade barrel and a spigot adapter kit, GSWA and Green Mojo Eco Consulting help you construct your very own rain barrel. You will take your new rain barrel home with you, and it’ll be ready for hookup to your home’s downspout immediately! Pricing: $90 to assemble, $110 to purchase outright, free to observe the workshop. Participants are responsible for transporting barrels home at the end of the workshop. Sorry, no delivery service available. This is a popular workshop so please register today as space is limited.
