I really love the idea of using the water collected from a rain barrel to hydrate my flower garden this season. Not only would I save a little money on my water bill, but I wouldn’t have to drag a long, heavy, hose back and forth across my patio. See, I recently made several raised garden beds on the back side of my house, and on the other side I have a really pretty flower garden, but the water source isn’t close, and I made a rain barrel system which has given me some much-needed heavy, water hose, hauling relief!

Below are just a few of the rain barrel systems that are available on Amazon. Amazon has fair prices that are very competitive, they also offer Prime 2 day shipping, an array of unique home & garden design ideas like the ones below. 🙂
