About this Event
An avid cook, Simone loves to use a wide range of herbs (basil, dill, parsley), lettuce, greens, and even tomatoes and cucumbers from her indoor garden. Also a houseplant lover, she grows almost all of her foliage using hydroponic and semi-hydronponic methods that incorporate a net pot with pon or leca. Simone started growing this way in 2019. She is excited to share the details of what she has learned with you!
If you have a sunny window or a grow light, you too can set up a system to grow your own food! From simple mason jars to aero gardens, and larger hydroponic towers, there are multiple ways you can accomplish the same goals based on your space and interest.
