Good Earth Home Garden & Living Show - Eugene, Oregon

Green home ideas in the Blue Home

The Better Living Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show, the Northwest‘s largest sustainable lifestyle event, will pack the Portland Expo Center with inspiring, sustainable home and garden ideas, March 25 – 27. Whether a person is looking to build a new home from scratch or update an existing home with sustainability and energy savings in mind, the Better Living Show has something for everyone.

Going Green with the Blue Home

The Blue Home, created by NW Natural for the Better Living Show, is a 1,100-square-foot installation, showcasing the ultimate in sustainable, natural gas living. Visitors will be inspired when they see the latest in building and eco-friendly design from Legend Homes and Progressive Builders Northwest. New this year, cutting edge technologies like Honda‘s Freewatt® heating and power system, stylish green decor, behind-the-wall views of sustainable construction, and demos in universal design in the kitchen and bathroom.

On the ‗Build Green‘ side of the home, Legend Homes demonstrates high-performance design modeled after its EarthSmart™ Homes. Attendees are able to take a sneak-peek behind the walls of the EarthSmart™ Home and see how the construction process sets it apart from other builders in exceeding Oregon‘s energy code—giving homeowners a $99 monthly energy bill guarantee. For those looking to update an existing home, the ‗Remodel Green‘ side by Progressive Builders Northwest demonstrates how to make sustainable upgrades. Progressive Builders Northwest will also illustrate principles of universal design in a state-of-the-art bathroom and kitchen, helping homeowners use thoughtful remodeling to create a house that transitions with them, no matter what stage of life they are in.

New features outside of the house include a Flattop Grill or ‗social grill‘ by Evo®, a 30‖ diameter surface designed for a social chef in mind; a living wall to keep the house cool in the summer; a kitchen garden for easy back-door harvesting of vegetables; and an alternative to front lawns no-fuss groundcover, all designed by the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. Show-goers can watch grilling demonstrations by local chefs from Milo‘s City Café and The Resort at the Mountain, among others, on the social grill and enter to win an Evo® of their own.

Energy-Saving Solutions with Energy Trust of Oregon

Energy Trust will help show-goers unlock the best energy-saving ideas for their homes at the Good Energy Pavilion. Inside Energy Trust‘s ―Key to Good Energy‖ booth, guests can explore hands-on displays that showcase a variety of money-saving, energy-efficient ideas (from lighting to solar, to refrigerator recycling) and reveal some common energy wasters many homes have hidden in their walls. Energy advisors will be on hand to offer personalized guidance and help guests create their own plans for energy savings. Utility customers can even sign up for some free energy-savers from Energy Trust right from the show and check their Home Energy Profile at the computer kiosks. Also at the Good Energy Pavilion, attendees can learn how to tap into solar, wind, geothermal and other renewable resources and find out how cash incentives from Energy Trust and state and federal tax credits can help make renewable power more affordable.

Visitors will have an opportunity to learn from the energy experts during the OSU Seminar Series, which features topics including smart energy-saving solutions and the basics of going solar (for homes and businesses).

Gardening Advice with Local Experts

For the gardening enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers, Oregon State University (OSU) brings experts in various sustainable home, garden and lifestyle topics for an informational Seminar Series, each day of the show. Each hour, two new topics will begin, featuring local and OSU Extension Service experts on topics including gardening, composting, pest management and food preservation. Additionally, attendees can listen to talks by authors, Carol Deppe of
