You’ll see soilless growing in action; hydroponic systems and aquaponics too. Be able to see different grow light fixtures running, and see so many cool new things, it will blow you away. It’s likely your favorite grow shop owner or staff will be there too. They’re just as eager to check out all that is new and exciting as you are. It’s just the stuff you need to get that rooftop farm rolling, turn the spare closet into a grow box, select just the right climate room enclosure, set up your balcony garden, or outfit that new greenhouse. Even if you’re set to turn a vacant city plot into the Garden of Good Eatin’ – you’ll find a host of information and great products to help you make your fledgling container farm into something truly special and overtly productive.

Of course, there is more going on here than investigating products and equipment. The Speaker’s Corner will give you the opportunity to hear some of the greatest minds in progressive gardening talk about important facets of growing your own. Knowledge you will definitely want to add to your gardening repertoire, and you’ll be able to ask  questions and get an answer on the spot.

And then there’s the party. When the show floor closes for the day, the Cirque du Caberet – The Night Circus. A performance of burlesque and dark cabaret sponsored by HydroGarden… so, if you weren’t planning to get a room for the night, you might want to look into securing one. It will be an awesome way to end a perfectly garden-filled day.
