The Hydroponic Gardeners of Tucson (HGT) is a local group of hobbyists, would-be growers, teachers, students, researchers, and others interested in practicing and promoting the use of hydroponics for the production of food, flowers, houseplants, medicinals, and other crops.

They meet at noon, the second Saturday of every month at the Campus Agriculture Center Headhouse (northeast corner of Campbell Ave. and Roger Rd. in central Tucson).

Meeting programs include presentations by local experts in fields involved with hydroponics and CEA production, hands-on workshops, tours of local hydroponic gardens, and roundtable discussions. HGT also assists with CEA related educational events, including Science Alive, that help to introduce k-12 students to the world of plants and hydroponics, and get them excited about science.

A due of $12 per year provides members with a monthly newsletter and access to the club's library and other educational materials. HGT welcomes anyone interested in the field of CEA or hydroponics. Each new visitor gets 3 fre months of the HGT newsletter.

If you have any questions, please contact Chris Pagliarulo at the Hydroponics lab, 318-7268, or write to pagz@ag.arizona.edu.
