Hydroponic Hub
A hydroponic Hub in a local garage transforms the community’s access to fresh, healthy food. By growing plants without soil, using minimal water and space, the Hub makes year-round harvests possible even in dense urban areas. It becomes a local source of education, innovation, and connection — offering workshops, inspiring sustainable practices, and supporting new small businesses.
