I just got a suggestion that we hold workshops at the windowfarms headquarters for folks who want to build their own systems.

For the most part, we have been trying to keep all the know-how building online here on the website so that people based elsewhere can benefit as well (like the Finland Windowfarms team!!).

However, I am considering holding workshops occasionally again at headquarters in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We would ask for a $25 per person donation to the project in exchange for a “cooking show” kind of demo session and customized troubleshooting advice.

Interest? We would probably hold the first one in April 2010 sometime.

Hello,

I am a student at Columbia College Chicago and I did a report asking to bring the Windowfarming system somewhere in Chicago. I have gotten a great response from this and just had a meeting with the Garfield Park Conservatory regarding getting a windowfarm installed there. They have agreed to provide space and materials. However, we need to have someone who has completed a Windowfarm in Chicago to help us with putting this plan into action. This is a VERY ecxiting opportunity to get the word out about Windowfarming!

Is there anyone here in the CHICAGO area who has completed a windowfarm?

Or, is there a way I can find members who are in Chicago, either would help.

Let me know!

This Sunday, I will be giving a workshop on the Waterpod! I will focus on whatever are the interests of folks who show up. If you bring measurements of your window, I can help make sure you walk away with a sketch of a full reservoir system designed specifically for one of your windows and all the specs for your components. I will also have a demo model of the three tier system with me.
Lots of other fantastic urban ag specialists will be around. Come hang out!

Pioneers meeting tonight at Eyebeam, 540 W. 21st St. 7pm. Please update all of us about your Window Farm, and bring questions! We’ll be looking at the new site, Jackson will have his awesome airlift JackPot, and we’ll show you our new Benefit installation.
