Hydroponic farming is an indoor growing method that uses a nutrient-rich water solution instead of soil. Experts in hydroponics from No More Empty Pots, a Luminarium program partner, will guide guests through the stages of hydroponic growing – including the chance to see the harvesting of mature plants grown right here inside the Luminarium! Hydroponic farming has several benefits. It maximizes space, uses less water, and is more predictable than traditional farming due to its controlled environment. Learn how rural and urban farmers are using this method now and how it may play an even bigger role in the future.
As part of our Grow season, Curiosity Stations are rotating pop-up learning experiences that explore different elements of growth and community.
