“To garden, you’ve changed my life forever. You’ve made me see food in a different way – and through your love, I transformed my son, daughter, and partner’s lifelong eating habits. You nurtured our bodies and showed us what a healthy lifestyle can be through growing our own food. I’m at PCC learning Spanish because I want to have deeper conversations and share more ideas with my co-workers. As my confidence increases, I think of how we’re all growing together. Everyone deserves your love. Yet my community – and other communities of color – haven’t always had access to affordable fresh fruits and vegetables. I’m going to change that, along with my co-workers, one garden at a time.”
