Our gardener of the month, Yakira, is a member of Tampa Heights Community Garden. This is her first garden and she was awarded “Rookie of the Year” at the community breakfast in May! Kira also recently obtained her yoga instructor certification and hosts “Gratitude Yoga” in the garden, to resume in October. We hope to see you there!
See how gardening has benefited her mental health below.
