This garden is a personal project for me, but I think it can be applied to diverse situations, and perhaps especially for people who seek to use their pain of losing a loved one in a productive way. My education here at the University of New Mexico influences my academic pursuit of learning how to start the process of creating food justice in my community. I understand this community garden as one way to start that process, and use it as a tool to improve access to produce in the community.
Hi Divana. I was a classmate with your mom at the Valencia campus and my wife, Sra. de la Torre was your teacher. We are planning to be at the dedication. I think what you are doing with this project is a great testament to your mom and the values she instilled in you. Bravo to all your hard work in bringing this all together.
