Workshops at Putney Library May 15 & 19

This Wednesday, I'm giving an "Introduction to Aquaponics" workshop at the Putney Library at 7pm, sponsored by Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center (BEEC) and Transition Putney. It's free and open to the public.

Online registration is required for the follow-up workshop on Sunday, May 19th, called "Build your own mini-Aquaponic system". There is a $50 materials fee and participants will go home with their own kit to start aquaponic gardening. In case you missed it, here's my previous post about the kit:

In preparation for Wednesday's Introduction to Aquaponics workshop, I've been updating my Powerpoint presentation. The workshop is about an hour, and will follow this structure:

• What is Aquaponics?
• How does it work? 
• Brief History of Aquaponics
• Why practice Aquaponics?
• Personal Choices: Plants, Fish, Materials (Benefits & Solutions)
• Considerations
• Implications 
• Question & Answer

I hope to see you there!
