1. A system for growing vegetation, the system comprising: a pole assembly comprising one or more hydroponic assembly coupling locations;an aquaculture assembly comprising a water supply operatively coupled to the pole assembly;one or more hydroponic assemblies, wherein each of the one or more hydroponic assemblies comprises a grow pan, wherein the one or more hydroponic assemblies are operatively coupled to the pole assembly at the one or more hydroponic assembly coupling locations;wherein the grow pan comprises a perimeter wall and receives water from the pole assembly adjacent a first portion of the perimeter wall, transfers the water to adjacent a second portion of the perimeter wall, and thereafter transfers the water back to the pole assembly; andwherein the flow of water through the pan allows the water to travel over seeds or roots of vegetation. 2. The system of clam 1, wherein the pole assembly comprises a pole and the one or more hydroponic assembly coupling locations comprise one or more pole cups operatively coupled to the pole, and wherein the one or more hydroponic assemblies are operatively coupled to the one or more pole cups. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the grow pan has a plurality of protrusions extending upward from the base of the grow pan. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more hydroponic assemblies comprises a tray operatively coupled to the grow pan. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the tray comprises a first member and a second member that are operatively coupled with one another, wherein when the first member and the second member are operatively coupled with one another a plurality of tray channels are created within the tray, and wherein the first member and the second member may be dissembled to remove vegetation from the tray. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein the grow pan further comprises rails, wherein the tray is positioned along the rails, and wherein the tray is configured to slide along the rails to deliver water to the tray or the grow pan in at least two positions. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the tray is configured to slide along the rails to deliver water to the tray or the grow pan, wherein in a first position water is delivered to the tray and subsequently dispersed from the tray to the pan, wherein in a second position water is delivered only to the grow pan, and wherein in a third position water is simultaneously delivered to both the tray and the grow pan. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the perimeter wall comprises an inner wall, an outer wall, and side walls, and the water is transferred from the pole assembly adjacent the inner wall to adjacent the outer wall, and thereafter transferred back to the pole assembly adjacent the inner wall. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein channels are created between the side rails and the side walls of the grow pan, wherein the channels run from adjacent the outer wall and lead to openings in the inner wall of the grow pan, and wherein a base of the grow pan is sloped towards the outer wall such that the water flows along the base of the grow pan to adjacent the outer wall and back towards the pole assembly through the channels and exits the grow pan via the openings in the inner wall of the grow pan. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein channels are created between the side rails and the side walls of the grow pan, wherein the channels are sloped towards the outer wall, and wherein a base of the grow pan is sloped towards the pole assembly such that the water flows down the channels into the base of the grow pan adjacent the outer wall and back towards the pole assembly through the base of the gown pan and exits the grow pan via an opening in the inner wall of the grow pan. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the aquaculture assembly comprises: a tank having a pole anchor located therein, wherein the pole anchor is configured to receive a bottom portion of the pole;a plurality of struts configured to stabilize the pole within the tank; andat least one tank cover positioned at an opening of the tank. 12. The system of claim 1, further comprising: one or more spouts, wherein each of the one or more spouts are configured to deliver water from the pole assembly to each of the one or more hydroponic assemblies. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the pole assembly further comprises: a tube within the pole assembly;a pole cap operatively coupled to the tube and the pole assembly and comprising one or more exit slots; andwherein the water exits the pole assembly via the one or more exit slots, and wherein the pole cap increases water pressure within the tube. 14. The system of claim 2, wherein the one or more pole cups comprise an upper tier and a lower tier, and wherein the lower tier comprises one or more blades located between an outer surface of the pole and an inner surface of the lower tier, and wherein the blades are sloped at an angle and configured to control the rate of water flow as water exits the lower tier of the pole cup. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more struts comprise a first end and a second end, wherein one of the one or more hydroponic assembly coupling locations is a pole cup, and wherein the first end is coupled to the pole cup and the second end is coupled with a ridge on an outer perimeter of the tank. 16. The system of claim 1, further comprising a pump and configured to pump water throughout the pole assembly. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein the pole anchor comprises a pole anchor access notch, and the bottom portion of the pole comprises a pole access notch, and wherein the pole anchor access notch is aligned with the pole access notch when the pole is received in a recess of the pole anchor such that the tube may pass through the access notches and be positioned within the interior of the pole. 18. The system of claim 1, wherein the pole assembly comprises a pole and the one or more hydroponic assembly coupling locations comprise one or more exit slots, wherein the grow pan of each of the one or more hydroponic assemblies are configured to be coupled with the pole via insertion into the exit slots, and wherein water flows directly from the pole into the grow pan. 19. A system for growing vegetation, the system comprising: a pole assembly comprising one or more hydroponic assembly coupling locations;an aquaculture assembly comprising a water supply operatively coupled to the pole assembly;one or more hydroponic assemblies, wherein each of the one or more hydroponic assemblies comprises a grow pan, wherein the one or more hydroponic assemblies are operatively coupled to the pole assembly at the one or more hydroponic assembly coupling locations;wherein the grow pan comprises an inner wall, and outer wall, and side walls and receives water from the pole assembly, transfers the water to adjacent the outer wall, and thereafter transfers the water back to the pole assembly; andwherein the flow of water through the pan allows the water to travel over seeds or roots of vegetation. 20.
