Because of people like you, our class (and future classes) are able to continue using our hydroponic tower garden. The kids are always so excited to go through the process of planting our seeds, watching them grow, transporting our seedlings, and watching them take off in the tower. Harvesting our \"crop\" is always memorable for the kids and a great way to show them the impact of our efforts. \r\n\r\nReceiving costly materials like seeds, rock wool, tower minerals, and seeds allows us to continue using and learning from our class garden. The students are able to observe how this modern technology will provide food for generations to come, especially in heavily populated areas. Students are also able to explore the plant growing process, and how things like the pH in our drinking water and light affect the growth of our plants. We even study real world examples of these towers in actions.\r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for your generosity. Teaching and learning take a village.
