Interns Explore Hydroponic Farming at SHAADE Hydroponics
Interns from the Ministry of Agriculture visited SHAADE Hydroponics, a backyard garden run by Mrs. Sherrie-Ann Brazier. The hands-on experience focused on hydroponic gardening and sustainable food production.
During the visit, interns prepared drip hydroponics systems for new seedlings, rotated seedling trays, stained wood for future structures, and cleaned NFT channels. They also pruned herbs such as basil and parsley.
Mrs. Brazier’s garden features a variety of produce, showcasing the potential of hydroponics in small spaces.
The visit concluded with refreshing smoothies from Sunkiss Smoothies, providing a delightful end to the educational experience.
