OWNERS of environmentally friendly homes are preparing to open up their houses to visitors as part of the Green Doors initiative.

Co-ordinated by Wilton Community Land Trust, south Wiltshire’s second green open homes event will be taking place this coming weekend.

Sixteen properties, including Wiltshire’s first certified low energy passivhaus, will be open to the public and home owners will be on hand to share their energy saving experiences.

It is an opportunity for anyone interested in green technologies to find out more from the people who have made their homes more environmentally friendly.

Opening times, booking information and details of the participating properties are available at wiltshiregreendoors.org.uk or greenopenhomes.net.

There will also an information hub being planned at Wilton Community Centre this Saturday when there will be experts available to offer tips and advice on all aspects of green living from allotments to retrofitting.
