It is run by solar panels, filters rain water harvested from the roof, and has a ceiling made from reclaimed lumber. These features and many other strict sustainable practices make it an award-winning living building. Encircling the Kendeda Building is a\u00a0<strong>garden consisting of only native plants<\/strong>. Among them are sedges\u00a0<em>(Carex pensylvanica and Carex cherokeensis),<\/em>\u00a0cardinal flower (<em>Lobelia cardinalis<strong>),<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0various goldenrods (<em>Solidago<\/em>), pepperbush (<em>Clethra alnifolia<\/em>), and more. In the bog garden are cattails (<em>Typha<\/em>\u00a0latifolia) and pickerelweed (<em>Pontederia cordata<\/em>). On the rooftop, native grasses and blueberries are growing. Every plant has a place and purpose. Honey bees help complete the sustainable environment. The building and grounds are models of what the world needs to regenerate our fragile ecosystem.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are two tours June 5 and June 9.<\/li>\n<li>Tours start at 9AM.
