“Hydroponics is essentially water farming. It’s a way of growing pretty much anything without soil, instead using water as your medium. The container is pretty educational in its purpose. Hydroponics is a fairly new agricultural development, so there’s a lot of knowledge to be gained from purely experimenting with the system. I’m not for sure exactly what I want to do after high school, but because of this project I’m definitely exploring horticulture. I want to do something that uses plants to do something to benefit our community, and I think urban agriculture is the gateway to get there.”
