VISTA Gardens
Village Institute for Sustainable Technologies and Agriculture, Inc.
On Thursday, October 9, 2008, I attended what I found was a very interesting and insightful public meeting. The meeting was held by President Bill West, where he spoke about the newly formed non-profit organic garden and educational facility. When I heard about the meeting and the meeting’s topic, I thought is sounded very uninteresting and I was hesitant about even attending. However, once West explained about the new facility and its goals in order to better the community, I was happy that I chose this particular meeting. I learned many things about new technologies being created right here in my own neighborhood, and VISTA’s role in bettering the environment, as well as the people who live in it.
“VISTA is an educational facility in order to educate people on organic gardening and sustainable technologies, said West. We have teamed up with talented architects who know how to put plans and landscape together in order to conserve on resources for home owners so they don’t have to use as much water and energy.”
One of the topics that I thought was particularly interesting was when West talked about how VISTA can show people how to use their own plants to better their home and their property. One example he spoke about was how a person can use plants in order to cool their house. I would have never thought that plants could be used in such a way. West also spoke about how one of the main goals of VISTA is to show people how to grow their own organic garden so that they can produce their own food.
“VISTA’s goal is conservation and reducing costs to the homeowners”, said West.
Another thing I learned about VISTA was that they plan to introduce anything from solar energy to different products on the market that people can purchase in order to conserve energy and help our environment. This meeting really made me realize that we all should do our part and do all that we can in order to help our environment. VISTA is a great tool that people can use in order to gain valuable knowledge about how they can do their part in the conservation of the environment. Just by attending this meeting about the new facility has educated and opened my eyes to how important conservation is, and how by using simple products, techniques and even a garden can help the environment in a tremendous way.
“We want to be the resource for people to come to to find out how to improve the environment inside and out”, concluded West.
