GARNA is celebrating green homebuilding in the Upper Arkansas Valley.This will be our 5th green home tour focused on local builders who have a reputation for building and/or remodeling using quality, environmentally friendly products and practices.  The goal of the tour is to highlight area homes that demonstrate various ways that design and product/material selection contribute to a more sustainable living style. We want to create an educational venue for people to discover and learn more about current trends in the green homebuilding industry.
