Hydroponics with Caitlin Weil

During the Spring 2026 semester we were excited to work with Caitlin Weil, a Graduating Senior, on this project. Caitlin looked after one of The People’s Farm’s Tower Gardens (a hydroponic growing system). She grew kale, lettuce, winter thyme, and basil, watered and “fed” (with nutrient solutions) the garden, and monitored its pH level. Below are some photos of the Tower Garden and an article Caitlin wrote about the experience.
