With ORA, an indoor aquaponic garden, your library can spark curiosity about science, bring generations together, and bring your municipality’s sustainability initiatives to life.
Ideas to Bring Your Library Programming to Life:
Sustainability Awareness
Use the garden’s water cycle to start a conversation about everyday actions and highlight your municipality’s sustainability initiatives.
Community Workshops
Offer a Grow at Home workshop to help residents grow vegetables indoors, on a balcony or in a garden. You can work with a local organization or have Onuà World handle all the arrangements and bring in one of our partners to lead the workshop.
School Visits
Give students a guided look at the ecosystem, then invite them to explore a related question using your library’s collections.
Seed Starting and Seed Libraries
Grow varieties from your seed library or hold a workshop where participants take home a seedling.
Community Harvests
Depending on what’s growing, organize a small herb harvest with a community kitchen or neighbourhood organization.
Intergenerational Activities
Bring children, parents and older adults together to share skills, choose what to grow or harvest together.
A Project That Fits Your Team
A Living Display
A Few Events Throughout the Year
A Signature Project
A Turnkey Option
Onuà World supports you from installation through start-up. Depending on your budget, you can have our partners maintain the garden and lead activities.
Together, we’ll build a simple schedule that fits your library. Start with a school visit or a seed-starting workshop, then adjust your programming throughout the year.
Day to Day with ORA
How does aquaponics work?
Water circulates between the aquarium and
the grow beds. Bacteria convert fish waste into nutrients that plants can
absorb. Visitors can see how these elements work together in a single garden.
Who takes care of the garden?
Onuà World can arrange ongoing garden maintenance through its partners, based on your library’s needs and budget.
How do you choose where to put the garden?
We’ll help you find a spot where visitors can easily see ORA, with enough room to move around it and access it for maintenance.
