community garden

la dolores neighborhood

In partnership with an organization called DeBase, we are building a community garden in the neighborhood La Dolores.

Such support is helping to empower the 84 families that make up the community of La Dolores.

Members of the community and volunteers work together to maintain the community garden. They weed the soil, collect organic waste for compost, plant more vegetables and harvest.

So far, we have planted lettuce, radish, potatoes, corn, broad beans, onions, broccoli, spinach, carrots, mint, among more legumes and vegetables.

Food sovereignty empowers households and communities to address issues of hunger and health by cultivating their own healthy, fresh foods.
