June 10th -  17th •  7 days
Don Lee and the JLRC Building Team

We will be building a greenhouse that relies on two natural heat sources to maintain the growing temperature above freezing in the Winter.  We will install an annualized geo-solar system that stores Summer heat in the ground below the greenhouse floor.  TIme permitting we will prepare a Bio-Mass heating system that extracts heat from a huge compost pile and transfers it under the floor of the greenhouse.  As a team we will build the south facing glass wall and the roof.

TUITION:
Before  May 10th   $515

Includes accommodations and simple but delicious vegetarian meals for 7 to 14 days.
