HYDROFLORA CONCORDIA
Sundays, 5:30-7pm
One HydroFlora’s many goals is to make the knowledge of hydroponics and sustainable urban farming accessible as possible to the Concordia community. We meet every Sunday at 5:30 in the Concordia Greenhouse to host hands on hydroponic workshops. We also utilize this time to discuss future projects and opportunities for students around campus and abroad.
