Earth Day!

Hello Eco-Lovers,

Did you have a good Earth Day? What did you do to celebrate? There was a lot of activity going on at the Ecohouse on Earth Day this year thanks to the workshop we hosted called "Permaculture Basics for Small Spaces." This workshop was designed to teach the principles of permaculture to help beginners start designing productive, low-maintenance and ecologically sound small spaces.

After two days of participants learning about permaculture through lectures and engaging activities on April 14th and 15th, it was time to put their knowledge to use by implementing a design in the front garden of the Ecohouse. We were thrilled to volunteer our garden space for a practice design because it was getting overgrown and unmanageable! Having the front garden modeled after a natural ecosystem is perfect for the house because it adds one more sustainable element that we can talk about and share with tour groups interested in learning about sustainable practices. Set up a tour and check it out in person!
