Spring time has come back around, even though it appears that the weather is still deciding whether or not it is ready to leave behind the winter cold.  With the melting of snow and ice off our roofs, now is an ideal time to collect water, especially in anticipation of the possible dry months lying ahead of us.  Santa Fe Rain Barrels is back in full swing, providing rain barrels and other services to various stores and businesses in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area, as well as individual clients.

Wholesaling is something that the business is very active in, and our wholesale market has increased greatly since its birth about two years after the beginning of the rain barrel business.  We currently wholesale to a number of nurseries and other businesses in the area.  Although the majority of our clients reside in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area, we also wholesale to Taos, and an individual distributor in Las Cruces.  We offer our wholesale rain barrels at a discount price, as long as the buyer has a store or business and is buying at least twenty barrels at a time.  Anyone with a business in sustainability, landscaping, irrigation, and water catchment, can benefit from the interaction, as those who we are currently selling to have.  Wholesale rain barrels in Santa Fe and Albuquerque can be a good opportunity for many local businesses.  May we continue to develop our local economy and lead more sustainable lives.

With the moisture left over from the winter snows and warmer weather once again gracing the natural world, plants are coming back to life with much growth and energy.  The ideal conditions around us make this year appear to be a good one for various outdoor activities, landscaping and gardening in particular.  These great outdoor activities are beneficial not only for ourselves, but also our community and the environment in which we live.  They give us an excuse to be outside and get exercise, contribute to the natural beauty around us, and decrease our ecological footprint by removing some of the Carbon Dioxide emissions that are released when we drive our cars.  Gardening is something that has considerably developed in Santa Fe, and can be seen in the new Farmer's Market in downtown Santa Fe, as well as in the households of many locals.  Growing our own food, as well as other types of plants, is a sublime act in our society, and helps to support both a local economy and a healthy diet!

Sustainability is a critical factor for continuity of life, and can be seen in the way that plants get decomposed and recycled back into the earth when they are no longer needed.  This in turn gives life to another biological process.  By composting, we are able to cultivate healthy gardens, as well as eliminate the amount of biological waste that goes into the trash.  Santa Fe Rain Barrels offers custom designed composter barrels to help facilitate the process of gardening.  These composters are 60 gallon gray and black barrels, and set up in a way that allows for less time spent turning the compost and more time spent attending to plants.  We want to continue to attend to the needs of locals in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area in regards to sustainable water and living.  May you collect the water and recycle the waste!

In New Mexico, the land is very arid and dry. The sun blazes in the sky during the warm summer months, evaporating the majority of the water that is not connected to a larger body. Flying into the Albuquerque airport after spending time in more humid environments, I am normally astounded by the colors that I see out of the window of the plane. There is red, orange, dots of green, and underlying almost all of these colors, different shades of brown. The majority of the landscape in New Mexico is comprised of dirt, and there is a limited amount of biodiversity outside of our life-giving mountain ranges. Despite much of our art and culture is based on the hidden beauty of New Mexico's brown landscape, the people of Santa Fe and the surrounding areas seem to be cultivating more of a love for plants and greenery, and as this takes place, the art of landscaping comes into play.

Green plants and brightly colored flowers are greatly welcomed in contrast to the brown color of the stucco, and while this gift of nature does grace the appearance outside of our homes, it comes with a cost, one that is generally a good deal higher in New Mexico than other states. Water is scarce in our dry environment and therefore less abundant and more costly. It is therefore of great importance not only for the sake of our savings, but the environment in which we live, to conserve more water.

Although it may seem contradictory to have gardens and save water at the same time, there are many ways in which we can enjoy the beauty of nature without depleting its resources. Santa Fe Rain Barrels not only offers a way in which we can store and preserve the water that falls from the sky, but also strategies in landscaping that allow us to use less water in the first place. We understand the need for more plants in our fellow New Mexicans' backyards, and offer our services of landscaping and water harvesting in New Mexico to those in need. Please come to us with any questions and requests regarding any of our services.

Thanks!
