Greywater- It's Berry Nice! Laundry to landscape installation workshop, Sat Feb 20, 10:00am - 3:00 pm, FREE  Snacks, lunch, drinks, and tools will be provided.  Fred Hunter and Josh Graning will be the instructors.Sweetwater Collaborative planted a berry nice yard in a hands-on workshop here in January and it needs a steady source of water to grow well and be productive. Laundry greywater is the answer! Help us bring the water to the plants. This hands-on workshop will take place in north Goleta, near Girsch Park. Once you sign up, we'll send you the exact address. Register here http://sweetwatercollaborative.org/civicrm/event/register?id=37&reset=1We will install a laundry to landscape greywater system starting at a high efficiency front loading washer that's in the garage right next to the front yard. We'll take the piping to the four blueberries, three blackberries, three raspberries, pineapple guava, Fuyu persimmon, and Brown Turkey Fig that we planted a couple of weeks ago.This will be a learning through doing workshop, with additional educational points reviewed during the break and lunch. If you want to learn more about greywater before the workshop, we encourage you to attend our monthly lecture/classes on greywater. There you'll get answers to general questions or specifics not related to the workshop installation that we don't have time to cover during our hands-on workshops.  The suggested donation for these classes is just $10 per person.  Our next Greywater 101 class will take place on Thursday, February 18, just two days before this workshop.
Hope to see you at one or both of these events as we help to grow greywater in Goleta!! Please spread the word about these opportunities.for more information, contact barbara wishingrad bwishingrad at gmail.com or 805-403-4566
