San Antonio

Roots of Change Community Garden

The San Antonio East Side neighborhood is plagued with issues of poverty, low-wages, environmental contamination and few positive activities for youth. The area lacks resources like libraries, recreational facilities, grocery stores or banks. The project will start a sustainable community garden where members can bring home the harvest and, eventually, seedlings to start their own home garden. It will model different techniques like water catchment, drip irrigation, composting, integrated pest management and raised beds.
