TESTIMONIALS PROFESSOR ROY KENNEDY, PERSHORE COLLEGE “The HydroGarden V-Farm system was installed in the AgriTech Centre at Pershore College (part of Warwickshire Colleges Group) in 2017 and immediately demonstrated its flexibility and reliability in hydroponic plant research and in horticultural degree courses. I would highly recommend the system to other teaching and research organisations who require environments capable of growing a wide range of horticultural crops under controlled conditions to a high standard.”
DR PAUL MYERS, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF FARM URBAN, BASED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL “The V-Farm is the next step in urban farming. It provides an exceptionally compact, highly productive system using leading LED technology. This system can transform small, underused urban spaces into the farms of the future. HydroGarden’s V-Farm is allowing us to develop our farms at a rate that wouldn’t be possible with any other system or technology currently available to us.”
