Check out one of the ways that Gen Hydro has been connecting with children, educators, non-profits and local charities. Our sales rep Jessica Lilga really went above and beyond helping to orchestrate this amazing project. She also took the really great photos below!

San Francisco is teeming with eco activists, and General Hydroponics has joined with some of the best and brightest in the city. The results: a rooftop hydro-garden setup at one of the most progressive charities in SF.

Glide Church and Community are located in the Tenderloin, and their goal is to offer people services, such as a free health clinic and free meals from their restaraunts. By any standards they are more than successful in that mission. So, a group called Bay Localize joined them to bring sustainable ecological value to their work. Together their mission objectives included creating a rooftop garden that would create integration between farm and city and build an educational tool for urban schoolchildren. 

That’s where we come in. General Hydroponics was drawn to the project because Glide is local with a big window into the San Francisco community, and because Glide is renowned for it’s positive impact. We provided materials, including a PowerGrower 8-Pack, consulting, and expertise. Many other valuable local companies and non-profits were able to contribute as well. Together the efforts produced a fully functional, sustainable and very productive vegetable garden. It is our hopes that children, farmers, and urbanites alike will be inspired for years and years to come.
