  • Wednesday, December 2, 4:00 – 6:00 pm – Designing an Ecological Home and Landscape

    Join Marie Stella and Aran Byrnes to explore the process of creating an ecological and sustainable home and landscape that features environmental awareness, reduced energy consumption, sustainability, and innovative uses of plant material.
    Marie and Aran will introduce us to Beaver Lodge, Marie’s LEED platinum certified home and teaching facility, and invite us to explore the process of building an energy efficient, sustainable home and integrating it with a responsibly managed landscape.
    They will highlight the ecological elements of Beaver Lodge such as rain gardens, buffer zones, a vegetated roof, and green architecture. This presentation will motivate and encourage us to blend landscape, art, and technology for a more sustainable future.  Sponsored by the Ecological Landscaping Association, www.ecolandscaping.org, the program will take place in Nordic Hall (below) at the Scandinavian Living Center, 206 Waltham Street, West Newton, Massachusetts.  Cost is $20 for ELA Members, $25 for non-members.
