The Cool House Tour offers insight into what we can
do to improve our homes' energy efficiency, and an opportunity to talk
directly with the home owners who did it .. how they did it .. and what
they might do differently.

Gardens

  1. The Camilleri Garden     10:00 am - 4:00 pm

    2749 6th Avenue

    Fort Worth, TX 76110

    The Camilleri garden was inspired by the beauty of the
    Mediterranean along with the arid yet lush island of Gozo, the
    homeowner’s birthplace. The garden reflects the colors and textures of
    Gozo and incorporates these elements with Texas-friendly perennials.
    Needing a space to provide fun and entertainment for their three boys,
    as well as many large family get-togethers, the Camilleris designed the
    gardens to be both functional and pleasing to the eye by dividing the
    areas with iron fencing, lattice trellises, and stone pathways. A small
    vineyard was planted on the north side of the property to provide a
    hobby for the wine lovers as well as to serve as a reminder of the Old
    World. A small organic herb and vegetable garden is located just outside

Exploring Sustainability


Our goals for our 44th Annual Conference are three-fold: we want to celebrate and recognize the achievements of youth and community leaders (of all ages), civic groups, businesses and governments; offer an array
of educational sessions to relay pertinent, innovative approaches to
community beautification, waste reduction and litter prevention; and
provide unparalleled networking opportunities and exciting presentations
from knowledgeable experts and those with a passion for the
environment.
