Greengro Technologies to Begin BP Gardens CEA Project Development

Greengro Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GRNH), a world class
provider of eco-friendly green technologies, has completed its
business plan and is beginning fund-raising activities in
conjunction with Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)
specialist BP Gardens, Inc. to develop an aquaponics pilot project
on a 4.5-acre property located at 7701 Knott Ave. in Buena Park,
Calif.
Aquaponics is a sustainable food production process that
combines conventional aquaculture (fish farming in tanks), with
hydroponics (soilless) plant growing methods in a symbiotic
environment.
The BP Gardens venture is an ambitious CEA greenhouse growing,
marketing and distribution project designed to serve Southern
California regional communities, restaurants and grocers with
fresh, chemical- and pesticide-free produce and specialty culinary
herbs. Within its greenhouse space, BP Gardens will grow four types
of lettuce, basil, tomatoes.
"After months of planning and work, we have finally reached the
point where we can begin development on this property in this
year's fourth quarter," said James Haas, CEO of GreenGro
Technologies. "BP Gardens will be Orange County's premier CEA
facility."
The first-phase of the initial BP Gardens project involves prime
real estate space strategically located in the heart of Buena Park,
Calif. The property, formerly John's Wholesale Nursery, currently
features 30,000 square feet of existing greenhouse facilities. In
addition, an abundance of open area on the site is available for an
additional 18,000 square feet of greenhouse structures for research
and development (R&D) and future community activities.
The Buena Park project calls for remodeling the site's existing
greenhouses, each of which will be refurbished or purpose built and
will highlight the most advanced and cost-effective commercial
growing systems in use today.
The greenhouses will be equipped with plant growing systems from
Greengro Technologies in conjunction with The Waters Wheel, a Los
Angeles firm that specializes in the design and construction of
certified-organic, recirculating water farms (including aeroponic,
hydroponic, aquaponic and aqua-bioponic systems).
In addition to using water in place of soil, these systems also
use soil developed from aquaculture and specialized media. Besides
accelerating growth of densely concentrated crops and making better
tasting produce, recirculating water agriculture conserves as much
as 95 percent of the water needed to farm in soil.
