    During the an exhibit at Botanical Gardens, here is an example of how we can cover the rain barrel... This was part of National Wildlife Federation's Exhibit at this event. This may be something to think about...

    Based on the priliminary guidelines, screening rainbarrels will not be necessary if they are located in the back of the house. Side yard locations will most likely require some sort of screening/landscaping.

    Personally, I do not like the "structure". It looks like a giant ant hill or some kinda indian burial mound. :D

    The plants will eventually grow over the stones, but in winter they would be visible..ancient spirits or not...I think it looks better than the rainbarrel unadorned

    Wow, that looks great. Did you see how they got to the hose attachment at the bottom?
