A showcase of sustainable design to benefit Animal House Fund
GIMME SHELTER Architects’ Eco-Challenge is an Herb’n Giving Opportunity, brought to you by the eco-centric philanthropists who brought you FRESHfest and PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD.
In keeping with the spirit of past Herb’n Giving events, GIMME SHELTER promotes sustainable living in St. Louis, supports local, indie businesses and raises funds and awareness for a local nonprofit organization.
This time, we’ll shine the spotlight on sustainable building and showcase local architects, designers and fabricators who do innovative, groundbreaking work while treading lightly on the planet.
It is our hope that after the event you’ll be inspired to incorporate some of the learning into projects for your own home and garden.
