Prototype Community Garden Shelter

Prototype Community Garden Shelter

The Prototype Community Garden Shelter was constructed as a spring event for the Plain Green Conference and Marketplace in downtown Sioux Falls. The small shelter was completed as the second annual community service project integrating hands on learning, sustainable building concepts, and community stewardship for local volunteers.

The project is a prototype for seven other community gardens around the city. Each shelter will highlight a different sustainable material including gabion construction, rammed earth, straw bale, compressed earth block, and cordwood.

The Community Garden Shelter serves the local urban agriculture community, providing a place to gather, share information, provide storage, and demonstrate sustainable building techniques.

Comment by Brian Beilke on December 9, 2012 to December 2012 Meeting Minutes

The chapter is currently without most of its board. Please mark your calendar for the next board meeting on January 9th (in this case, the second Wednesday of the month) - and please help your chapter by helping with one of open board positons.

It's been my priviledge serving as Secretary these past two years.

Thank you all,

Brian

These people deserve some

Comment by UrsulaCorrales on November 19, 2012 to Building Permit Tomorrow!

These people deserve some appreciation from their hard work and effort. Building permits would now be implemented throughout the area and this would give a lot of benefits especially to the bridge builder and other construction firms. Thanks once again.
