Helping
Others
Astrogrow established a partnership with the Mosier
Community School three years ago to introduce children to the world
of aeroponics.
Students from first to sixth grade have participated
in growing basil, lettuce, spinach, soy beans, tomatoes, marigolds,
and kale.
The Mosier Community School is almost 88 years old
and rests in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic
Area. It is a charter school with about 100 students.
The product from their system has been utilized in
the cafeteria where all the meals are from scratch, or sold to the
local restaurant.
It has been educational and fun. Grown in an unsupervised area outside
the cafeteria with a fluorescent TekLight T-5 from Sun Systems.
