Contact us to book tours at our Matter of Trust Model Eco-Home. This exhibition space has an ecological apartment and urban, permaculture garden. This place is for gathering ideas and suggestions on how city dwelling renters and owners can go green. The Eco-Home showcases a cozy, environmentally designed space with warm, earthy colors and clean bright areas. Here, we are celebrating urban eco-communities and concentrating on the microcosms of a healthy mind, body and soil. It complements our Eco-Industrial Hub’s model factory and its “macrocosm” themes: air, water, energy, materials and manufacturing. Both are made to inspire, enchant and engage visitors of all ages. We invite conversation on incentives and perspectives for how to collectively create a planet-friendly future.

Visit our 6 general public week-long open houses throughout the year. And contact us anytime to book tours, field trips, corporate off-sites, lectures, workshops, roundtables and more!

Why this matters?

Our model Eco Home showcases ways for renters to impact climate. Environmental news (good and bad) can seem huge and impersonal. Most residential information is for homeowners and construction. We are filling a niche that reaches urban populations that are tenants and ranging in income. Everyone can enjoy all the goodness a greener life has to offer. Plus, when it comes to planet friendly shifts, there is strength in numbers. Little changes really add up!

What can I do?

Get Involved

We are always evolving and welcome new ideas, partners, contributions and emails. We have a very optimistic view of the future and love meeting others who are very fond of this lovely planet!
