The key to making school-based hydroponic
and garden projects successful is knowledge.
Without it, limited budgets (and cut corners)
can lead to an off-putting mess…
Every year, teachers and students come to me looking for
both hydroponic and garden project ideas. Most have a
limited budget and an unclear idea on how and where they
can cut corners before they end up with a mess that could
turn both teacher and students off of gardening. The right
knowledge is power, as one teacher I know found out. Her
entire school did a project of soda bottle lettuce units, but out
of 18 classrooms, hers was the only one that succeeded.The
biggest factor of her success? She had the right info at hand.
