When Stephanie was a little girl she always had a small garden in the backyard. She loved the fresh homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers her mom and her would pick and eat every night in the summer from their garden. After reading the book Seedfolks, to a few of her classes the discussion and collaboration of a community garden began to evolve. Stephanie says she always strives to bring her students an opportunity for hands-on, experiential and fun learning. This project can accomplish all this with an emphasis on New Mexico’s rich culture through gardening. A community garden provides our youth with a truly unique opportunity to learn real-life problem solving skills with an emphasis on their own community.
