PictureTransplanting into the system just built

We were just up in Wisconsin recently for more learning and training with our friends at Growing Power in Milwaukee.  Several of our team participated in their aquaponics workshop, an intensive three-day course that combined the science of growing fish and vegetables together with hands-on construction where we built an aquaponic system from scratch! We were excited to meet fellow aquapons from all over the country, as well as those from far-away places like London and Greece.

Picture Lauren jumping right in and doing aquaponic training last weekend
Green Bridge Growers is excited to bring on board our summer intern, Lauren Jessup, who graduated from Notre Dame last month with a major in Science Business.  In just a short time, Lauren's made great contributions to move our venture forward - with much creativity, good humor, and persistence.  Lauren started off impressively - during her first 24 hours on the job, she'd already negotiated a very sizeable donation of materials that are needed to build our greenhouse system at Hannah and Friends!  She's kept that pace up each day, wowing us all with her great resourcefulness and hard work.

We've been on the grow lately - diving into the construction of our venture's first structure , an aquaponics prototype built in collaboration with Hannah and Friends, a terrific agency here in South Bend that serves those with disabilities.  In the past few weeks, we've met trucks carrying our equipment that got us out of bed in the wee morning hours,  pored over construction manuals, and  consulted with various contractors about the electrical, plumbing, and heating requirements of our greenhouse.

While tackling the first steps of our build, we were grateful for help from Wes, the facilities manager at Hannah and Friends, who graciously gave of his time, his tools, and his expertise to help get our project going. Lots of prep work, studying, and calculating before we even put shovel to the ground!
