Stacy Adams, University of Nebraska–Lincoln professor of practice in agronomy and horticulture, will hold a hydroponics workshop open to the public from 9 a.m. to Noon, March 8, in the Plant Science Teaching Greenhouse classroom on East Campus.
Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants using a water-based nutrient solution rather than soil. Adams teaches the Hydroponics for Growing Populations class at the university. This introductory workshop is for beginners to learn about, explore and create a hydroponic prototype.
"This will be an opportunity to see hydroponic systems in use and explore essential tools for anyone to be successful with growing their own plants hydroponically," Adams said.
The three-hour workshop will be limited to 16 participants. Anyone interested in learning the basics is welcome to register. Registration is $35 for prototype construction and tools necessary for managing the hydroponic system.
The Plant Science Teaching Greenhouse is located at 3855 Fair Street, Lincoln. Please enter through the north door that faces the Animal Science Complex.
