Join us for an introductory course into the fascinating world of hydroponics- the method of soilless plant growing. Farmers around the world have used similar systems for thousands of years and recirculating hydro systems are becoming more and more popular as a water-saving method of agriculture.
In this workshop, Maya Kutz, our Greenhouse Manager, takes you through the basics of hydroponics- you’ll get to tour our Sunset Park greenhouse + hydro system as we touch on topics related to hydroculture including; it’s history, types of home systems suitable for the urban dweller, indoor lighting, pest management and selecting beneficial plant species.
Come see what all the water is about!

About Maya Kutz: Maya Kutz came aboard Brooklyn Grange in spring of 2019 as Greenhouse Manager to help launch the business's first ever hydroponic growing operation at the Sunset Park farm. Maya is no stranger to launching projects. Since obtaining her B.S. in Engineering Science in 2015, she has been the very first employee at several innovative farming operations, including a a 50-fish aquaponic system and an 80-tower garden farm. Starting things requires learning on the go, and Maya has always made space for sharing that knowledge with others, having taught a Hydroponics course at NY Botanical Garden, and trained the many new team members at the start-ups she helped get off the ground.
