Workshop: Windowsill Hydroponics

December 17, 2023

At a WCG workshop held on December 17, 2023, Watertown resident Marilyn Salvas gave a short presentation on the basics of hydroponics, and each participant prepared and planted their own hydroponic jars to take home.


What Is Windowsill Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants in water enriched with nutrients instead of soil. With just a jar, light, and the right nutrient balance, you can grow herbs and greens on a windowsill or bookshelf year-round.


This system is:

  • Low-cost
  • Compact
  • Beginner-friendly
  • Ideal for small spaces


We invite you to download Marilyn's presentation and try it out yourself!
