Gilbert emerging aquaponics is moving forward. Glibert Elementary has very ambitious plans for it’s aquaponics program. In the spring GES converted an over grwon Koi pond into an aquaponic strawberry farm. This summer they are bringing the outdoors in by modifying their science lab to support four different kinds of aquaponics research. Special thanks to Ryan COX and ICA farms for helping GES with both projects! Web Design by Guild Development.
