The Maplewood Green Team presents the Eco House and Yard Tour.

Solar Panels, Insulation, Drip Irrigation, Organic Gardening and Native Landscaping,  Rain Barrels, Composting, Reel Mowers, and Chickens are among the Green Living Projects that will be on view.  Homeowners will share their personal experiences and knowledge and select houses will have experts on hand to answer technical questions.

By visiting a house that has adopted eco-friendly features, tour goers will get to:

-Look at a compost bin in action and see that compost doesn’t stink.
-Watch plants get watered by themselves and learn that drip irrigation is affordable and easy to install.
-Push a reel mower around the yard and try it out.  Reel mowers are easy to use, even on hills.

- Talk to homeowners about green technologies like solar installations and blown-in insulation and see how much energy they are producing and/or saving.

- Ask questions about organic gardening and native landscaping.

- And Much More, see website, http://www.maplewoodisgreen.org/eco-tour,  for full list of Green Living Examples that will be featured on the tour.
