My name is Alejandra dias Godinez. I'm originally from Pomona California, I lived in Las Vegas for a couple of years I moved to San Jose when I was around 3 or 4 years old with poth my parents. I have gardened and grown food before when I was little but it didn't really turn out so good. I'll always help my parents or grandparents garden. Like water the plants and make sure everything is going as planned. I grew flowers and fruits and vegetables. I remember that I had to make sure the plants had enough water and sunlight,it was a big responsible because you don't want what your growing to die. My uncle is a farmer he knows a lot about gardening and animals, when I go visit him there is always something knew that he grows. He has a lot of animals but mostly he tells me that his job is harder then regular job out there because he needs to make sure all of the plants and animals have enough sunlight, water, food, and much more.

About me bio

My name is Lianna Torrez. I am from San Jose. My mother and father immigrated to San Jose from South America in their teenage years. I have never Gardened before, but it has always interested me because I the process seems pretty fun and I feel like after the plant is formed and becomes a fruit or vegetable you’ll be proud of yourself and say “I did that!” “I planted that!.

  I believe my dad knows a lot about gardening. When he was younger and lived in Bolivia his family wasn’t the wealthiest in the world so instead of buying their fruits and vegetables they planted their own.

My name is Natalie Deleal. I was raised in San Jose- as was my mother. My father was born and raised in Anaheim, California till the age of 4 to which he lived in San Jose as well. Growing up, I moved to different schools quite frequently. I recall moving to 4 different Elementary schools, since I still have all my student ids up to now but I never moved out of the state.

As a little girl, I truly didn’t understand the world since I was self-absorbed. I was spoiled very much and I was very moody. Although, somethings never changed. Like how I enjoyed gardening outside with my grandmother whenever I get to see her. I recall only gardening flowers though.Yet, the experience was amazing. I’d try to visit her everyday just to see if the flowers grew. My other grandparents (on my mother’s side of the family) also grows plants. The only difference is that they grow actual food. They get most of there oranges and fruits on the trees in their backyard. Sometimes I pick out the fruits in the trees which I find fun. My great grandparents owned a farm. They would garden fruits and vegetables but they mostly took care of the animals then the gardens. I never actually got to see the farm since they died and I never actually met them since they live in Mexico but I’ve been told it’s very peaceful there and the farm was like their second home.
