Through a collaboration with Las Fotos Project, a Boyle Heights nonprofit, we partnered with nine high school students to work on mini Plant PPL profiles.
Cristina Jaquez is an elementary teacher living in El Sereno with her three kids, two dogs and two cats. She has a beautiful and very diverse garden next to her house where she spends a lot of time. Jaquez said if she could be any plant in the world, she would probably be a bean. “Bean plants move around a lot. They reach out and leave the soil good for other plants to grow. They are helpful.
” Like the bean plant, she cares deeply and believes strongly in helping the people in her life. Inside her garden are various vegetables, herbs, flowers and medicinal plants. Most of what she grows goes directly toward feeding her family. While Jaquez smells, touches and checks in on all of her plants, her dogs, Bailey and Uva, follow closely at her ankles. Instead of listening to music while gardening, she prefers the silence. “I enjoy talking to the plants.
