  • 8232 Pueblo Dr, Rockford, IL

Join ISEA Solar Ambassador Klaus Hoffman at his home to learn about both his solar experience and his environmentally beneficial garden! 


"Inspired by Sara Stein’s book Noah’s Garden, the plants here don’t just look good, they offer many environmental benefits. Trees on the west side form a wind break. Both native and non-native plants produce food. Wetland plants help solve a water problem. A great variety of native trees, small trees, and shrubs form hedgerows that act as wildlife corridors. Sculptures are created with gathered natural materials, and a cactus garden features the native prickly pear cactus. Learn from the homeowner how solar panels on the roof provide electricity and hot water."
