HGTV opens Green home to the public
May 7, 2009
The second annual HGTV “green home†is open to the public. Every year a new “green home†is constructed, showcasing the latest trends in green design.
“From a hydroponics garden irrigated with recycled storm water to the use of solar energy and extremely energy-efficient appliances, there are so many environmentally friendly features to come out and see,†Tradition president Wes McCurry said. “Not to mention this is a very fashionable house with beautiful interior design.â€
This home is one of a select few that have received Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. The highest level of certification that can be attained.
The house is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 20 through June 6. Tickets are $15 and must be purchased at the Tradition Welcome Center west of Interstate 95 Exit 118 off Tradition Parkway.
The home is a short drive from the Welcome Center at 11786 S.W. Westcliffe Lane. Parking is free. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters of St. Lucie County.
Visitors can enter to win the home and grand prize package during the HGTV Green Home Giveaway from April 17 through June 5. Visit HGTV.com to enter.
