The Hydroponic Garden Team (aka the Garden Club) will meet

THURSDAY 3/24      1:00pm  NAMM 201

TOPIC: What is the carbon footprint of hydroponics? How does a hydroponic garden fit in with Urban Agriculture?   Photos below courtesy of Madelyn K

Attention Gardeners and seed planters!

Tomorrow at 1:00 we will be meeting in N201 in order to take care of our seedlings.  The seeds we planted last week have mostly all germinated and there are little lettuce and herb sprouts there.

If you can come by at 1:00 we may try to put the hydroponics system together.  {That will be interesting too}

On Thursday Feb 17 at 1:00 in Namm 201,

we will plant seeds for the Hydroponic System. If you are at all interested in learning how to grow lettuce and herbs for our culinary and pastry program, please join us!

All students are invited. This is also an opportunity to recruit for the Garden Club.

All students are welcome

First Meeting of Fall 2021   12:45 – 2:30 Club Hours  Namm 201

We’re Back!

Here is an opportunity too help set up the Club Hydroponic system and meet other students who are interested in planting and growing vegetables and herbs for lab classes in the Hospitality department. It will be fun and challenging to get things growing again!

Over and over again members of the Garden Club and the City Tech community step up to the plate and make something wonderful happen.

In October it was plates full of spice cookies and decorated pumpkins. At that party folks from all over the college contributed toward a hydroponic system. That became seed money for the Giving Tuesday campaign which in turn brought in enough money to ensure that hydroponics will happen next semester.

Last week it was platters of student-crafted sweets and savories at the Holiday Party & Fundraiser. Generous contributions from all over City Tech resulted in $400 for the CHIPS holiday meal which is happening on Dec 19.

When people at the college come together, the positive energy puts a smile on everybody’s face.

Garden Club members started it by raising $300.00 at the Pumpkin deco Fundraiser!  Now, get this:

The Hospitality Dept has selected Hydroponics at City Tech as the focus for    Giving Tuesday  Our hydroponics system is getting support from the whole college community.

Anyone can contribute to this cool cause.  Pass the word

Just two weeks ago the Garden Club hosted the first ever Pumpkin Decorating party. We had a full house:  guests came by and enjoyed pumpkin cupcakes, spice cookies, cider and focaccia while they decorated their own pumpkins. It was fantastic to see students from all over the college getting creative with paint, markers and punkins.

And the club raised $300.00 to purchase a hydroponic system for the college!
