We have cut the ribbon on the second “smart garden” indoor growing container at UF IFAS Solutions UF/IFAS College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. It’s a partnership with Seminole Electric and Clay Electric Cooperative, Dr. Zhang from UF/IFAS Agricultural and Biological Engineering to study growing lettuce! 🥬 (produce goes to the campus pantry).
