Join us at a Garden Pool Meetup member's private family residence in North Scottsdale for our latest design and volunteer project!

- Tilapia Pond
- Aquaponic Greenhouse
- Seed Start Station
- Aquaponic IBC Garden Beds
- Use 90% less water than conventional farming methods
Materials for the project will be provided.
We will be building this ambitious project and we could really use your help!
We could use volunteers to help build and tools for the volunteers.
Tools are needed for volunteers:
- Cordless or Corded Drills
- Driver Bits and Drill Bits.
- Reciprocating Saws
- Circular Saws or Power Miter Saws
- Hand Saws
- Sawhorses
- Extension Cords & Power Strips
- Tin Snips

- Utility Knives
- Tape Measures
- Writing Utensils
- Shovels
- Wheel Barrels
- Gloves (Leather Work & Latex/Nitryl)
- Hammers
- Squares & Levels
Restrooms & water will be provided for all volunteers.
Don't worry if you don't have tools, we can use plenty of hands. Please help us spread the word to help us get as many volunteers as possible. We greatly appreciate your time and we look forward to seeing the GP regulars and meeting new faces at our next exciting volunteer project! RSVP's are limited so please only RSVP if you are definitely going to attend.

This was an amazing experience. There were wonderful like minded people working toward a goal and helping each other accomplish that goal. I learned so much and would definitly participate again.

We won't be able to help. My birthday is next week, and my husband would like us to have a family weekend. See y'all at another build. :)

Hello Everyone-
We are so excited to get going on our project! We will be providing lunch for our voluneers, and my 14 year old daughter wants me to let you know that children are welcome in her "child care" for the day. She has lots of fun plans for kids, so if you are thinking you can't make it because you have no place for your kids, come on out and bring them too!3 · April 5

is there anyone in the mesa/ tempe/chandler/gilbert area interested in toting me out to the meet up? I am a good passenger.
Below is a list of promises OR just kiddings:
I will...* keep my hands and feet to myself
* help pay for fuel
* get us lost when asked to help with directions
* sit quietly with my hands folded in my lap
* smile A LOT (can't help it:))
* speak only when spoken to
* sing to every song on the radio (I will make up the lyrics if I do not know them)
Only by taking the chance will you learn which is promise and which is just kidding (OK, I will give you one that is a promise; Paying for 1/2 fuel)
Please lmk if anyone is available for car pooling. I can meet somewhere near your departure site :))

I have only been to one so far (last week end). But I would venture to say that anytime you can show up there is something to help with :O)

Sounds like a great opportunity to learn more about the process. I'd really like to convert my garden to an aquaponic greenhouse this year.
