Eco-Home and Edible Urban Garden
Eco-Home & Enchanting Edible Garden
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 green building 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.
6 Free Public Open Houses a Year:
Bee my Valentine – February March (Bedroom / Bath)
Earth Day & Smart Dorm Spring Clean – April May (Storage / Garden)
Greendependence Day – June July (Home Office / Home Gym)
Fallin’ for Harvest Time – August September (Kitchen / Dining)

Why this matters?
Since 2005, more than 50% of humans live in cities globally and in the US 36% of people are renters. This place is for gathering perspectives and incentives on how this population can impact climate. When it comes to planet friendly shifts, there is strength in numbers. Little changes really add up!
