PERMACULTURE MARIN
Permaculture Activists Creating Ecosystems (PACE Days) Next date and location to be announced. Each month we gather to practice our permaculture skills by working on a project at the home or site of a Permaculture Marin member. More information about the May PACE Day soon.
“Laundry to Landscape” Greywater Workshops!
Next workshop will be scheduled soon. If you are interested in hosting a workshop at your home, contact flowMarin@gmail.com
Interested in reusing your home’s greywater? Do you desire a water-saving yet abundant landscape? Want to learn more about greywater and how to build your own system? Come to one of our design and installation workshops! During this one-day workshop we will spend the morning learning the principles and advantages of greywater use, different types of systems, the new California code, appropriate landscape design and plants for greywater, common mistakes in system designs, and suitable products to use. In the afternoon we will install a simple, code compliant “laundry to landscape” greywater system.
This is a hands-on class, so come prepared to dig in the dirt and actually install a system from beginning to end!
Cost: sliding scale of $40 to $70. Class limited to 15 participants. Limited work trade available.
To register: or for more information, email flowMarin@gmail.com. Directions to the site will be given at registration.
The workshop will be taught by Permaculture Marin members Kathleen Lanphier and Dustin Kahn, who offer greywater system workshops and consultations through a collaborative venture called FLOW – for the love of water. Both Dustin and Kathleen completed a greywater installer’s certification course taught by Laura Allen and Andrea Lara of Greywater Action in Oakland.
