My name is Brianna Flores. I am 13 years old and I have lived in San Jose, California all of my life. I have little to no gardening experience so this project will be one of my first times gardening except the time I grew stuff in the first grade.

Hi my name is Makayla Bush and I live in San Jose California. I was born here

Gardening is a good way to learn where your sources came from, and it teaches you responsibility. I have grown some plants. My aunt Janny lives on a farm in Chowchilla. She grows grapes, apples, cherries, plums, and pears. My mom grew lavender and tomatoes. I helped out and I grew potatoes and it went really well. My dad would farm when he was little and so did his two sisters and brother. They own a farm and that's where my aunt lives. They built there own houses, I'm really close with my family on my dad's side and some on my moms. My grandma used to live in Los Gatos and moved too Hawaii.

 My name is Shellie Gillespie I am 13 years old. I have 3 sisters no brothers and live with my wonderful mother Bobbie Rodriguez. When I was 5 years old I moved to Texas because my dad got a job out there we stayed there for 3 years. I was born in San Jose,California and have been here since the move from Texas. My experience with gardening is well nothing at all. My grandparents grow their own veggies in their backyard but I don't really help. My grandma always talks to me about the process of  how a plants and veggies grow,sometimes it can get really really boring. Most of the time I just look at the progress. 

Brief Bio

My name is Christian Valencia and I am 14 years old, and I have always lived in San Jose, California. I am of Mexican descent. I am Mexican, and so is all my family. Most of my family lives in California, but I have a few relatives that live in Mexico. I am glad that I was born to a Mexican family because it is my favorite kind of food. I just love all the flavors Mexican food has.

Before I moved houses I would garden every so often, but I was very little so I don't really remember much. One of the foods I do remember gardening were tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers. I did enjoy gardening because I found satisfaction and enjoyment seeing the plant grow. I do have an idea of where food and plants come from, but I wouldn't consider myself an expert. Then since my old house had a lot of plants I would water them a lot. I don't cook a lot, but I do like cooking. I don't cook a lot because I don't know how too. Some people that I think know a good amount of gardening are my godparents/ uncle and aunt. Every time I visit them they are always growing food in their backyard. They also grow a lot of plants on their front yard. They like growing a lot of their food, and whenever she makes food for my family it tastes really good and fresh. They are really into eating fresh and organic foods. Hopefully, after this project I learn how to plant food, and have a better idea where it comes from.
