Join us May 4-6 for an exciting opportunity in San Diego’s back country town of Ramona for a unique hands-on workshop to learn how to transform a house into a sustainable oasis by tapping into rainwater and greywater.
This holistic water harvesting training course will teach people the fundamentals of integrated water design through hands-on activity. Over 3 days, participants will design and install:

• A “Laundry to Landscape” greywater system
• Two branched-drain greywater systems from two bathrooms
• A 2,500 gallon rainwater harvesting cistern and plan for future expansion
• A wide range of passive water-harvesting earthworks

All of these water harvesting projects will be integrated to provide an edible landscape that works in harmony with both the natural ecology and the home itself.
Through this training, participants will learn:

• Best Management Practices for rainwater and greywater harvesting
• Legal regulations and permitting
• Best plumbing practices
• Edible landscape integration
• Tricks and tools of the trade

This course is for anyone interested in learning how to design water harvesting features into their own landscapes and is ideal for homeowners, contractors, architects, designers, and city and county regulators. No prior experience is necessary. All participants will receive a certificate of completion. If you have been waiting for one course that will give you an overview of how to install your own legal rainwater harvesting and greywater systems then this is the course for you. By the end of the three days you should have the understanding and confidence to begin to create your own sustainable oasis!
