Partner: City of Petaluma

When my wife and I moved to Petaluma during the 2019 drought, we purchased a 68-year-old home with sparse landscaping. This blank canvas sparked our desire to explore sustainable solutions, including rainwater capture, whole-house greywater reuse, and drought-tolerant plantings. Our vision was to create a landscape that not only thrived on minimal water but also required little maintenance and enhanced the aesthetic appeal of our home. By integrating these innovative systems, we aimed to cultivate a self-sustaining oasis that aligned with our values of sustainability and beauty.

This tour will be especially valuable for anyone interested in learning about fungally active mulches, rainwater capture and greywater reuse systems.
