Do it yourself-ers will delight in a weekend of exploring innovative, eco-friendly homes during Sustainable Connections’ 12th annual Imagine This! Home & Landscape Tour on June 21-22, 2014.
The tour showcases the best in natural, eco-friendly homes and landscapes. Participants can visit local homes utilizing the latest innovations in green design, reclaimed materials, renewable/solar energy, passive solar construction, rainwater harvesting, permaculture and low maintenance landscapes.
“We are excited to showcase this year’s participants,” said Rose Lathrop, Green Building and Smart Growth Manager for Sustainable Connections. “Tour attendees will be delighted with innovative remodels and urban landscapes. Each site has a story to be told with many useful tips, affordable ideas and takeaways to help jumpstart your next green project.”
New this year is an Arts and Craftsmen Exhibit showcasing beauty and inspiration found in everyday elements around homes such as benches, mantles and railings. Workshops and demonstrations are also being offered by the REVision Division of The RE Store and other partnering organizations.
Interested participants can peruse photos and descriptions of the homes and landscapes on the tour inside the free tour guides available now at many downtown locations or online here. The website contains an interactive Google Map which provides photos, descriptions and information about local businesses, too.
Tickets are $10 and are available online, at Village Books and the Community Food Co-op. Admission includes access to all tour stops, a comprehensive tour map with a directory of local home and landscape businesses, admission to the Arts and Craftsmen exhibit, and the opportunity to take part in valuable workshops.
