Vertical Aeroponic Technology is the technical name, but they are normally called Tower Gardens.  A special fund established by Fishers City Councilmen Eric Moeller and Todd Zimmerman, in cooperation with the Hamilton County Schools Foundation, provided the money to get this student-led Fishers Elementary School Tower Garden off the ground and running.

“I’m thrilled this project is the result of the first grant that was awarded through the Zimmerman/Moeller Fund,” Moeller said.  “It demonstrates the creativity that teachers have in making their classrooms innovative and dynamic learning environments. The hydroponic tower garden will be a benefit to students for the foreseeable future.”

Students at Fishers Elementary received a demonstration of the Tower Garden during an event held at the school Tuesday afternoon.
