The Gaddy House is the residence of Edward Gaddy, a scientist at the Applied Physics Lab in Clarksville Maryland. A home of about 2,000 sf, this project has achieved LEED-Homes v4 Platinum (Pilot) and Net Zero Energy Certification from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). The project is pursuing Passive House and Living Building Challenge Petal certifications.
Borrowing on the agricultural history of the area, the Gaddy House has taken the approach of developing an edible landscape including native fruit and nut trees and shrubs. Native trees and shrubs will support the homeowner while re-introducing wildlife habitat to a previously non-native tree, shrub, and turf landscape. If you want to track one of the species migrating to this garden, you can follow the monarch butterflies here, https://www.learner.org/jnorth/maps/monarch.html.
