Aquaponics

Aquaponics

The Aquaponics Greenhouse will open at the San Bernardino County Museum on Saturday, September 20, 2014. During opening day, a variety of hands-on activities will be offered for children and families. Activities start at 10:00 a.m. and continue through 3:00 p.m. Activities and tours of the greenhouse are included with museum general admission.

The greenhouse is a self-contained ecosystem supporting plants and fish through water recycling. Talapia swim and grow in tanks through which water circulates into growing tanks for vegetables. “We’re essentially growing our own fish tacos,” said Serving Proud Industries Veteran Jeff Allen. “The greenhouse is a demonstration project, built by volunteers using recycled materials and learning as we progress. Eventually, this simple technology will make backyard and small scale subsistence farming practical and productive.”
