Description
Living Machines, Greywater, Constructed WetlandsOn Saturday, January 12, 10 to 1, Greenbuilding consultant Roy Nordblom will present a talk on living machines, greywater, and constructed wetlands. He will lead a tour of the sustainable features at the ELSEE campus, including
greywater and rainwater systems with edible native wetland species providing rootmass and biofilter in the greywater bog
the garden sink, which combines greywater, reclaimed water, a solar fountain with a living aquarium, and serves as a visual teaching tool (and also an outdoor sink!)
The class will look over the aquaponics project(s) underway, the living wall, and will discuss ELSEE's effort to become one of the first Sustainable Sites. You will learn how you can use bioengineering in your own home in a group brainstorming session. Potluck lunch to follow.
The Workshop fee is $30. For members of the California Native Garden Foundation (CNGF), the cost is $25. (Join CNGF at the workshop for $38 and save $10 on this class and 30% on workshops all year!)
Parking is available on Race Street, side streets, St. Leo's parking lot on Garland, and in the Food Basket parking lot on Garland.
