Hempcrete Building Learning Experience with Permatours and Tiny Hemp Houses
Join us at Diggers Co-op in Acton, ME to learn about building with hemp - including sourcing the materials, mixing the recipe, and installing it to form a livable structure. We’ll be co-creating the structure for a Solviva Greenhouse, which will enable Diggers to grow food year round!
Opt to participate in our hempcrete building interactive ONLINE COURSE before attending the in-person workshop, to learn from John Patterson.
