Born and Raised in San Francisco, I take pride in my roots and supporting the diverse community of my city. In my role as peer mentor, I welcome new participants to the garden, support the current volunteers and staff, conduct outreach, and help maintain the garden.
I recently graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz where I better realized my interest in nature, organic food, urban agriculture, and sustainability practices. It’s great to reap the healthy benefits of edible and medicinal plants like rosemary, lavender, mint, kale, peas, chamomile, onions, thyme and more—all grown in any place with sun, even in the city.
I see the garden as a place to be in touch with my connection to nature as a living being, even in the midst of the busy, fast paced ways of the city and modern technology. The garden is a place to take the time to relax, learn and share knowledge, and also create new, positive connections to fellow members of the greater San Francisco community. Through its meditative and therapeutic nature, as well as the bounty it produces, growing vegetables and herbs helps maintain a positive and healthy existence.
