Student Biology Symposium Everyone has the choice to cultivate some of his or her own produce at home or to purchase it. With the negative effects of pesticides used on imported and locally grown non-‐organic produce, it is a more relevant time than any for students to learn how to create their own garden. Conventional means of growing are sometimes impractical under certain circumstances. Alternative agricultural methods are an emerging field of research, as the demands for quality produce continue to rise and international relations change. Research into gardening methods that do not use soil can be both practical and affordable to those with limited resources or improper climate for growing produce. This semester-‐long project, which was completed in tandem with the regular course curriculum, examined the method of hydroponic growing for tomato and pepper plants. Students will present the results and conclusions of their garden project and take questions from the audience.
