This season we typically do Dia De Los Muertos flowers,” said Jovanna Lopez, Urban Agriculture Community Coordinator, Garcia Street Urban Farm.“We also provide food for San Antonio College Advocacy Center. Every week we take anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds of produce,” Lopez said.
Lopez says they are collaborating with the Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church to build them a garden.Lopez says a garden not only provides healthy foods, but it’s helping people express themselves, connect with others and connect with nature.“It helps a lot of people that are struggling with stress issues, any kind of mental health issues to come out and just be in the soil,” Lopez said.
