La Plazita Gardens facilitates community gardens at free plots and through membership in the Agri-Cultura network rehabilitates abandoned land within the South Valley neighborhood. The Network enables the building up of impoverished soils while growing and selling value-added crops to schools, restaurants, a coop, and at farmer's markets. There is also engagement in a broader movement to revitalize a 300 years old community operated irrigation system.
La Plazita Institute's mission is to strengthen community and enable youth to leave behind a destructive lifestyle by tapping into their own roots to express core traditional values of respect, honor, love, family, and community.
