Home & Garden Tour

Shared spaces. From co-housing projects to backyard cottages to community gardens, this year's tour will highlight the benefits and beauty of shared spaces of all kinds.

Gain ideas and inspiration by visiting up to 12 innovative homes and gardens. Experience real world examples of:

* Green building and remodeling
* Creative reuse and repurposing
* Energy and water conservation
* Sustainable gardening
* Edible landscaping
* Backyard barnyards
* Shared spaces

BRING's own Garden of Earthly Delights will once again be on the tour, featuring unusual edibles and ideas for reusing materials to create a beautiful outdoor space of your own.

We're on the lookout for leading edge new construction, remodels, gardens, and urban farms that demonstrate the art of sustainable living -- whether built by professionals or do-it-yourselfers.  To suggest a site, contact tour coordinator Shirley West at: shirleyw@bringrecycling.org.  Include site address, description, and photos if available.

Last Year's Tour

Thinking small to save big was our theme last year. From a TINY house on wheels to cozy additions that made the most of their city lots, tour-goers got a first-hand view of living well on an efficient scale. The tour also featured stunning examples of cutting edge new construction and designs for aging in place.
