It was a pleasure to speak at the Tamanend Park Herb Gardening Club this week. We met at the Middletown Grange Fair at our exhibit. Whether hydroponic, aquaponic or soil, getting together with growers is encouraging. Thank you for the invite Anne!

Hun School's elective garden class visited Bucks County Technical High School 's Floral and Landcaping classroom today to view their aquaponic set up. UP educator Merrill Pierce answered all their great questions and a couple BCTHS juniors gave the visiting class a tour of the greenhouse and garden.

Today at the Hun School, UP introduced the basics of hydroponics to the elective class, "Rad Day - Not Your Typical Garden". Students then went on a scavenger hunt for hidden information about various hydroponic technologies, later we discussed grow media combined with different systems, crop/plant options, and ended with the students designing their own hydroponic gardens and presented them to the class. An awesome day! Stay tuned for day 2 at Hun.

This small hydroponic system can grow an abundant harvest of many leafy greens and herbs in a small space - perfect to display near the dining commons of this community.
