This is a private event open to members of the Green Meadows Group .

Interested in how co-housing works in practice? Intrigued by what an earth-sheltered home might look, or feel like, inside? Or wanting an overview of what it is to live sustainably?

Join one of our small group tours, which are led by a resident of the project to give you a personal view on what it’s like to live in this sustainable co-housing project, which is now in its 22nd year.

This tour includes a guided walk around the site to learn about our food, water and renewable energy systems, a tour of one of the homes, and a talk on the challenges faced during the build, and subsequent development, of the project.

I and my three friends learned a great deal and we shall remember it always.

It is ideal for those wanting to find out more about sustainability in the home and local communities.

We also run private tours for community groups, schools, universities, self-builders and the wider housing sector. See our website for more details.
