10 Nature and Eco-Friendly Features in One Family-Friendly Home
A dear friend of ours, avid gardener ( see photos) and author of A Practical Guide to Building and Maintaining Your Pond, revealed that she is ready to relocate- as I mentioned in an earlier post. I asked her to send along photos - (which she did, as you can see here)...and to outline the eco-friendly features of this home.
Question: Where Can You Find 10 Eco-Friendly Features in One Family-Friendly Home? Answer: In Slidell, LA- just 30 minutes from the Gulf Coast and 25 minutes to the French Quarter of New Orleans and
20 minutes from the Big Branch National Wildlife Refuge-
