Our Pre-Vocational Program for Neurodiverse Gardeners equips participants with hands-on training in hydroponic farming, preparing them for employment in the green industry. Participants gain practical skills in planting, harvesting, and packaging, while also giving back to the community through regular donations of fresh produce to the local food pantry.
We welcome collaboration with like-minded professionals who are passionate about workforce development. If you're interested in joining us to make an impact, please feel free to connect!
Hydroponics, at its most basic level, involves the cultivation of plants by providing them with essential nutrients through their water supply, rather than relying on traditional soil-based methods. The term 'hydroponics' originates from the Greek roots 'hydro,' meaning water, and 'ponics,' meaning labor or work. This method of plant growth offers a solution for gardeners and farmers to produce more crops in confined spaces, such as classrooms, greenhouses, rooftops, or even within the confines of living rooms. Additionally, hydroponics proves valuable in regions where access to adequate space, fertile soil, or water resources is limited."
