Where:  Arbutus Ave., Chico (please, RSVP for exact address)

When:  Saturday January 28, 2012 from 10:45 am till 4:00pm (with Lunch)

What:  Participants learn about greywater basics through a one hour lecture, and then are led through the design and installation of one type of greywater system (a laundry to landscape system). In small groups that rotate, participants learn about the plumbing, the landscaping, and the materials needed for the installation. All skill levels are welcome and people who have less hands-on experience are encouraged to practice using tools in a safe, supportive, learning environment.

Why:  You will learn how to divert water that would usually go into the sewers into your yard. This saves you money, time and the environment.

Stephanie and Tim of GRUB went down to Oakland for one of these workshops and have said it was one of the best.  They learned so much and had a great time.

How:  Please, RSVP to Stephanie Elliott at 354-1646 or stephanie@grubchico.org as there are only 20 spaces.

Fee:  Sliding scale of $20-$50.

Thank you and see you there,

Stephanie
