Dear friends and neighbors– the Louisville Grows’ Healthy House (1641 Portland Ave) is finally opening to the public on March 24, 2017, from 4-7pm!!! The Healthy House is an engaging, energy efficient, sustainable community space that connects local residents to health, wellness, and green education. The Healthy House will offer conference, activity, event, and classroom areas, as well as a commercial kitchen for cooking classes. Sustainability features include a green roof, car-charging station, rain garden, and eco-friendly plumbing, heating, and cooling.

The Grand Opening will host many activities for community fun and connection. The agenda includes: food, music, raffles, a community art show, games, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Local organizations and businesses will have tables offering information and resources, giving visitors a preview of the kinds of classes offered at the Healthy House (if you’re interested in a vendor table, contact us!). Community members are invited to share their insight and ideas for future events and programs. This is an event for all ages!
