Gators are Going Green

Over the summer, Greenwood Elementary was awarded a grant for Tower Gardens. Tower Gardens are vertical, aeroponic growing systems. This is the same technology that NASA uses! The towers allow for up to 20 fruits, vegetables, herbs, or flowers to be grown at once without the need for soil. Greenwood currently has 7 towers in various locations throughout the school and they are working to get 13 more throughout the course of the school year. Different grade levels are responsible for maintaining different towers and the results are delicious! Check out the lettuces that are taking off on this Tower Garden!
