Garden Club seeks town sign-up for rain-barrel program; committee supports outreach
Summary
Gina Tomasett, president of the Newfields Garden Club, asked the committee to support the Great American Rain Barrel Program allowing residents to buy 60-gallon barrels for $89; members agreed to help publicize and plan logistics for April/May pickup.
Gina Tomasett, president of the Newfields Garden Club, presented the Great American Rain Barrel Program to the Newfields Conservation Committee on Feb. 17 and asked for the town’s assistance promoting the program.
Tomasett said the program sells 60-gallon rain barrels at $89 each; residents order online and pick up barrels at the Garden Club’s plant sale in May. The town must sign up to make the program available to residents; members discussed promotional steps including email notices and mailbox drops in April. L. Hill volunteered to reach out to the program to confirm logistics.
Committee members expressed unanimous support for moving forward; there is no cost to the town to host the program. The committee will coordinate publicity and practical details ahead of the plant sale.
