“Every weekend 30 young women who are first generation Mexican and Latin-American show up to tend to the garden’s plants. As they help with Projecto Jardin, the girls are caring for their local community, growing good food for their bodies to foster healthier eating habits, and reconnecting with their ancestry. Many of their grandparents, for example, can recall growing medicinal plants to use as herbal remedies. “We have some seeds coming from Mexico and we’re gonna be having all spectrums of fiber nutrients and things like that that are good for our bodies and for the planet,” notes member Celena De Leon.”
