SUMMARY:The Seed Life Span with No More Empty Pots
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that hydroponic farming is an indoor growing method that uses a nutrient-rich water solution instead of soil?\n\nExperts in hydroponics from No More Empty Pots\, a Kiewit Luminarium program partner\, will guide guests through the stages of hydroponic growing – including the chance to see the harvesting of mature plants grown 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. \n\nThis event is included with any daily admission ticket or with a membership.
