Recently, we visited their headquarters in Santa Barbara.  Jake, one of the three partners gave us a tour and showed us the systems they sell.

Chapala Garden’s rooftop tower garden in Santa Barbara.

Their style of aeroponics with the Tower Garden^® is different than the fogponic method we use.  The tower is around eight feet tall, with a wide base that serves as the reservoir.  A pump in the reservoir pushes water to the top of the tower where it drips down on the suspended roots.

Like our systems, the Tower Garden requires a seedling.  At Chapala Gardens, they grow and sell their own seedlings (pictured below).
