Dennis McClung
President and Founder of Garden Pools, NPO
In 2009, Dennis McClung bought his first home in Mesa; it came
with a big, broken pool. He converted the empty pool into a closed-
loop, food-producing urban greenhouse. In the process, he inspired a
community and created a nonprofit organization dedicated to
researching and teaching sustainable ways of growing food.
In this talk, McClung will tell the story of Garden Pool and how a
single idea can transform the way we think about growing food.
