The official meetup for the Garden Pool.

Join this meetup for:

  • public Garden Pool tours in Mesa, AZ.
  • food drives
  • FREE informative classes
  • volunteer projects to get a first hand experience

The Garden Pool was a large run-down pool that is now a closed-loop food production system using our unique form of aquaponics and is powered by solar energy. The GP was designed to feed a family of four with organic eggs, fruit, veggies, herbs, milk and fish 365 days a year while using 90% less water than conventional farming methods.

The GP combines:

  • solar power – harnessing and storing the sun’s energy
  • water conservation – harvesting water and recycling waste water
  • poultry farming – raising chickens
  • aquaculture – raising tilapia fish
  • hydroponic gardening – growing fruits, veggies, & herbs without soil
  • organic horticulture – using natural methods to control garden pests
  • aquaponics – the symbiotic cultivation of produce and fish in a recirculating hydroponic environment.
  • biofiltration – natural water filtration method using biochemistry and duckweed.
  • dairy goats - dwarf nigerian pygmy goats provide fresh milk daily.

The Garden Pool has been featured by the TODAY Show, Nat Geo, The Learning Channel, Discovery's Treehugger, NY Times, and media from around the world. Come see it in person!

    "We had a very similar patio before we moved. I would go with hydroton over the raft for weight and versatility. We have had more luck growing more varieties of veggies in hydroton. How do I calculate the tank size and number/size of fish?..."
