Here are a few photos from the 2008 (9th annual) Earth Day Celebration at The Oregon Garden. Almost 3,000 visitors showed up to enjoy the theme of 'green footprints'.
Ecological Design Principles for Water Treatment
If you have an event you would like to list that is related to plants, environmental issues, or sustainability, please email SPROut at sprout@chemeketa.edu
Saturday, September 26, 2009
Location:
The Oregon Garden, Education Bldg Ecological design principles have been the basis for many commercially-available, plant-based engineered systems for water treatment such as Living Machines, Eco-Machines, and Lake Restorers. Applications of these principles have been rapidly evolving into new technologies for treatment of rainabarrels, stormwater, greywater, irrigation run-off, and agricultural wastewaters. This course will provide foundations of ecological design, from which you can begin to develop your own systems. Designed for water quality professionals, urban stormwater managers, nursery growers, horticulture or landscape design students, Master Gardeners, and pond enthusiasts. The day will begin with a 2-hour lecture on ecological design concepts and various applications for plant-based water treatment. A tour of the "Rogue Six-Pack" will allow participants to examine up-close a truck-sized model of a plant-based water treatment system in tanks. Participants will then collectively build a table-top version of a tank system and put it to work. The table-top system will live at The Oregon Garden for research and demonstration. The day will conclude with a tour of the Oregon Garden's treatment wetlands and an innovative floating wetland that integrates ecological water treatment with nursery crop production.

Sounded fun!
I've been leading a class similar to this one for the last year and it grows (pardon the pun) with every quarter. It's very cool to see our local green movement gaining momentum. Keep up the good work!
Peace,
Jaime

This sounds like an excellent
This sounds like an excellent class. I've been attending free classes at the Chicago Center of Green Technology for about a year now. They have been very informative and useful. I have learned much about rain barrel and compost bin.
