This Weekend: Green Home Tour in Takoma Park
Takoma Park home with solar hot water
For those of you who have enjoyed our recent articles on green real estate and would like to actually visit some energy-efficient properties yourselves, this weekend might be your chance. There is a free tour of energy-efficient homes and gardens this Saturday in Takoma Park from 11am to 5pm. Designed to be easily walkable, the tour will include about twenty different stops (ten of them homes or gardens) in close proximity to each other throughout the Maryland neighborhood. From the website:
Come explore a wide range of energy saving and green construction in Takoma Park homes — from small-scale energy efficiency retrofits to green additions to new construction. Also see gardens with bio-retention systems, rain gardens, wildlife habitats and native plants. The focus of the tour is to demonstrate changes everyone can make in their homes and yards, especially as it relates to saving energy.
The tour is part of the larger DC Solar Homes Tour happening both Saturday and Sunday, which will feature upwards of 70 homes around Baltimore, Frederick, and Hagerstown.
