The Greenhouse Film 3:30-5:30pm

Join us a The Headwaters Eco Lodge for an incredible film about a crazy house built in the centre of Melbourne. Follows visionary designer and zero-waste advocate Joost Bakker's journey to investigate what it would be like to grow all the food you ever needed, leaving no waste as you do so, right at your doorstep. The Greenhouse is a display home for a possible future, a self-sufficient residence that provides shelter, food and energy while reusing any by-products - the realization of a complete waste-free, closed-loop system. Cosy up in Glenorchy to get inspired by how to build differently.
