Did you know you can find “The Glassman’s” self watering containers on display at the Explora Science Center and Children’s Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico?
They have been on display since Sept 2014. On a trip to Explora my daughter one day, I found himself inside the Arts and Crafts rooms and found all the items needed to make some wicking containers.
All you do is add soil and seeds to so they can be self watered. After creating them I asked the crew there if they had some soil and seeds (which they did) and water was added to the lower part of the bottle. Seeds were actually sown right there in Explora by the Glassman! Go check it out, 2 of the 3 original bottles remain. We are planning a day when “The Glassman” will host a workshop there for kids and their families!
Funding for our Earth
At this time I am currently working on acquiring some land in the South valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico to start growing on and doing more larger scale experimental garden methods as you see in Back To Nature on Community Publishing. Please help us grow Luna Star Farm by sharing our GoFundMe campaign page and contributing as much or as little as you can! Even $1 helps! WWW.GoFundMe.com/LunaStarFarm.
