Hannah Orndorff, an 11th grader from Virginia, describes her Supervised Agricultural Experience project using tower gardens to grow plants through aeroponics without soil. She explains the process of starting seeds in rock wool, nurturing them in nutrient-rich water, and transferring mature plants to tower gardens for fruit production. Through this hands-on project, Hannah has developed practical skills in plant transplanting and time management while exploring modern farming techniques she plans to apply to a future career in agricultural education.
