What a fantastic day!  Students from PCC delivered two aquaponics systems today!  What an amazing gift!  The systems will allow Alverno students to grow all sorts of plants; larger plants with extensive roots systems, like tomatoes, and smaller salad plants, beets and onions in the shallower beds.

The system contains two fish tanks.  We will think about what kinds of fish we want to have.  We will start with goldfish and then think about Tilapia for later.  









Prof Cat’s wonderful students have a lot of expertise and are kindly willing to share their knowledge and time with us.

Alverno students learned new skills today, like using a power drill!
