At the La Maestra Community Health Centers community garden we find gardeners Norma Rodriguez and Norma Jerilla. Norma R. speaks of growing up in rural Mexico and how rural lifestyles by design are more healthier than living in the city. The garden reminds her of her younger years and helps maintain her health through exercise and fresh produce that’s hard to find at the short-lived nearby markets. Norma J. finds stress relief in the garden and access to produce grown without chemical pesticides. Made with support from Cal Humanities & Kaiser Permanente, Campo a la Ciudad is a short community story part of the Land & Freedom: Talking Food Systems project produced by Media Arts Center San Diego.
