The Harrison House is holding an open house tour of the Arts & Ecology Center. Hilary Sloane will give you the details…
The Harrison House Arts & Ecology Center is dedicated to the practice and teaching of drylands permaculture and providing a place for artists to explore the intersection of art and ecology. The center offers home-scale solutions for sustainable water usage, local food production, building soil fertility, and sequestering carbon. Their current projects include rainwater-harvesting earthworks to support native trees, shade & wind protection, greywater-fed “oasis” zones for fruit production, soil regeneration, propagation of edible and medicinal native plant species, water-efficient vegetable gardening systems, and stewardships, including arts and environmental residencies and volunteer programs.
The open house tour is Sunday, December 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Arts and Ecology Center, 6836 Mt. Lassen Ave, in Joshua Tree.
