Join us as we begin preparation for our Natural Building Experience in early September. The build-out entailed first digging down a few feet so that this hempcrete greenhouse space will have a slight Walipini feel. On Aug 10th we prepared the floor by leveling with gravel. On our second volunteer opportunity we will work on the below-ground walls and perhaps begin preparing materials for Earthbags, which will be used in our building weekend next month.
We have been inspired by natural builder John Patterson, who will lead the Natural Building Experience September 5-7th. There is an opportunity for a scholarship, sponsored by Hazel Dell Mushrooms, for the main build that weekend - please see the SignUp below to apply for the scholarship.
You do not need to register for the Natural Building Experience in September to attend these, but of course we hope you do! Please bring food to share as we will break half way through. One special request from one foodie to others: edible flowers! Sturdy shoes, gloves, and water bottles are recommended.
