Open House @ PLACE for Sustainable Living : Sunday April 27th 3pm-7pm

[PLACE for Sustainable Living]

PLACE for Sustainable Living is a volunteer-run public-serving, experiential learning center showcasing and fostering sustainable living practices, urban homesteading, community resiliency & preparedness, social justice and artistic expression. 

We are hosting an Open House in order to highlight some of the accomplishments in our first 3 years, outline the expanded vision and identify the different ways that you can participate. We are excited to announce that after three years building out PLACE for Sustainable Living, we have secured a new five year lease. This lease will enable us to continue building our collective vision of a dynamic educational center for urban sustainability and regenerative practices.
