It's garden tour season and we've had a number of BlueBarrel Rainwater Catchment System® sightings across the USA!
Some tour hosts coordinate with us. Others we find out about after-the-fact when somebody sends a photo. Either way, we're here to share the experience with you.
Enjoy our Virtual Garden Tour on Video!
In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership took their annual tour online. Watch this short video to experience BlueBarrel's 2021 "tour stop."
2025 Garden Tours
BlueBarrel customers Ann and Brad with BlueBarrel founder, Jesse, ready to demo their BlueBarrel Systems on the 2025 Sonoma-Marin Eco-Friendly Garden Tour. Three BlueBarrel Systems totaling 11 barrels in this gorgeous California native habitat garden.
About a half-mile away, BlueBarrel customer, Suki, features her 6-barrel system tucked along the side yard, on the way in to her pollinator garden.
More barrels at Ann and Brad's place collect from a different downspout. A set of three in the foreground, connected to four more by the gate.
A blooming rhododendron frames the view of Ann and Brad's 4-barrel system, which sits amongst ferns and native grasses in their north-side shade garden.
2024 Garden Tours
BlueBarrel founder, Jesse Savou, with customer Dean at the Sonoma-Marin Eco-Friendly Garden Tour.
Jesse greets tour participants at Dean's place, discussing the benefits of rainwater harvesting.
Jesse demos the leaf eater and downspout diverter for tour guests. We are so thankful to Dean for inviting us out to his place to help host his tour site.
This BlueBarrel System® was also spotted on the Eco-Friendly Garden Tour (and can be toured any day!) as it is located at Sonoma Water's water education facility in Healdsburg.
Says their coordinator: "The green barrel is not functionally a rain barrel. It was a deep fake to connect the downspout to a 4” drain outlet to the adjacent redwood grove. A leaf eater was added to take a portion of the flow into our BlueBarrel System to water the low-water-use garden for the kids."
Anonymous BlueBarrel sighting! This BlueBarrel System® was spotted on the Pence Garden Tour in Davis. Zoom in on the decal to know it's one of ours 🙂
