TDG staff and family went to Serenbe on World Environmental Day this month to celebrate and learn more about sustainability. We toured the community and staff was able to see the features that make it so special. We explored new construction projects, eco-friendly features being built into retail space. We also enjoyed unplugging while feeding goats at the farm and eating at the local farm to table cafe. TDG was truly inspired and hopes to bring some of these elements and innovations to our future projects.
