A presentation by Emerge Gardens at our monthly meeting was followed by a field trip to their greenhouses, which featured dozens of Aeroponic "Tower Gardens." These portable devices increase output and accelerate the growth of various greens, enhance nutritional content, and use less water than traditional soil gardening. Emerge Gardens can be found at 6427 Elliott Street in Punta Gorda.
