One hour  tours + Optional consultation

I host tours of my sustainable home and the Chippendale road gardens.

During these one-hour information sessions, I show you how to design systems for water, energy, recycled water and sewage and provide details about how to get approvals, materials and costs. You may buy my books, Sustainable House, and Sustainable Food on the tour, too, and save postage costs. If you buy the two books online you also receive a free tour of the house for you and one friend on one of the public tours offered for bookings on this site.

Up to 20 people can come on a public tour.

Bookings are essential - see below for how to book and pay.
