Hydroponic Gardening

We are the fortunate recipients of a hydroponic garden at our center. It was donated to us by the Rotary Club of Cape North as part of a community outreach initiative in partnership with the Cape Coral Veterans’ Association. With the help of experienced Veterans, our children are learning how to grow fruits, herbs, vegetables, and flowers.  The advantage of hydroponic gardening over traditional methods is that the success rate is so much higher. So far all the seeds the children have sown have germinated.They are so excited about eating their homegrown tomatoes and lettuces! Do take a look at our Facebook page to see pictures of our first harvest! This certainly is by far the best way to encourage healthy eating habits.
