Description

We have an operating green house with a vertical hydroponics growing system and have installed a second system at a school here in Costa Rica. The Ministry of Education has visited and asked us to involve the local schools in our district in an effort to teach and promote sustainable agriculture: plant biology, organic growing, the science of fungus. Each school will have a garden project and learn to operate hydroponics systems to provide food for the school and the needy families of the area. The ultimate contribution will be money to purchase a greenhouse with the vertical hydroponic system (Approximately $20k)each.   Learn more...
