The Solar Decathlon competition (hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy) has come and gone, but we'd thought we'd share an interesting perspective of it with you. Our mother (MY mother!), Deborah Kuchar of Green Alchemy, was the garden designer for Santa Clara University, the school that took 3rd place. Mother dearest wrote a great story about her experiences with the project, and it's a really good read (lots of photos!).











I saw this on the mall here in DC and Santa Clara's was my favorite house by far. It was so liveable, and that deck with the wide doors had me drooling. Congratulations! It sounds like it was a fun and challenging experience for all involved. Also: GO, SOLAR!!!
