That’s exactly what is taking place on Pennsylvania College of Technology’s campus, thanks to a unique collaboration by The Gallery at Penn College and Dining Services. “Community Hydroponic Garden” is one of the displays in the gallery’s current exhibition – “Food Justice: Growing a Healthier Community Through Art.” The working garden utilizes distilled water and ceramic containers to grow kale that can be harvested to share and enjoy.
