Rain barrels are a great way to reduce stormwater runoff—and to save water for a dry spell. If you have gutters on your house, you may be able to collect 55 gallons of water, which can be used to irrigate your garden. Visit the Gifford Arboretum Sustainability Garden to learn more from Barbara McAdam, an urban horticulture program specialist at the University of Florida/IFAS Extension Miami-Dade County office, part of a statewide network of experts.
