Learn how to design, build, and optimize a simple hydroponic system for your home. Perfect for beginners and hobby growers.
About this Event

Hydroponics doesn’t have to be complicated.

This interactive 60–90 minute workshop is designed for home growers, hobbyists, and anyone curious about growing plants more efficiently using water-based systems.

We’ll walk through a fully functioning hydroponic setup and break down exactly how it works, from pumps and reservoirs to lighting, flow rate, and timers - in a way that’s simple, practical, and easy to understand.

Whether you're completely new or looking to improve your current setup, this session will help you grow smarter, avoid common mistakes, and design a system that fits your space, goals, and budget.

You’ll learn:

• How hydroponic systems use significantly less water than traditional soil growing
• How pumps, reservoirs, tubing, lighting, and timers work together
• How to choose the right system for your home
• How to improve efficiency and reduce waste
• Common beginner mistakes (and how to avoid them)
• Practical strategies for optimizing plant health and performance

This is not a lecture; it’s a small-group, hands-on experience where you’ll see the system up close, ask questions, and understand how everything connects.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a solid foundation to start or upgrade your own hydroponic system.
