Irrigation, Rainwater Systems & Agriculture is a free, hands-on educational workshop at Cary's Good Hope Farm focused on water conservation and home garden setups. Participants will see working examples of cisterns, solar pumps, and drip tape, with experts on hand to answer specific installation questions. This outdoor session is best suited for parents and teenagers who want to learn the mechanics of backyard watering. There is no cost to attend, but you will need to register in advance once the portal opens. Wear closed-toe shoes for walking around the farm, and bring a water bottle since you will be outdoors for the hour. It is a productive weekday evening outing that teaches practical sustainability skills you can immediately apply to your own backyard garden.
