Spring is a great time to celebrate the indoor gardening industry
as it continues to grow and we continue to learn and share the
advantages of organic and controlled environment gardening.
Evidence of this gardening revolution was evident at the recent
Denver, Colorado Expo where over 286 exhibits showcased the
latest products and technologies to help gardeners grow their
best yields. If you missed this great event, we have two more
expos planned for 2011 in San Francisco, CA (July 16-17, 2011)
and Long Beach, CA (Oct 16-17, 2011).
In the meantime, in your hands you have an issue full of the
latest information the industry has to offer from hybrid hydroponics and plant steering for vegetative and generative growth,
to LEDs and super star pollinators—bumblebees. Spring is now
here and a lot of growing will be concentrated in outdoor
gardens at this time. Farmer’s Markets are springing up across
the country and there’s a huge emphasis on growing your own
and supporting the local community. Just look at what commercial design consultants BrightFarms is doing in New York with
hydroponics (pg. 124). This is a great opportunity for you to
expand your hobby garden into a viable business selling at local
farmer’s markets and to restaurants.
