Julio Madrigal grew up in Oakland, he has witnessed the struggles people have around food along with the health issues of malnutrition. Julio has had the opportunity to learn from people in his community and this has rooted his love for the Planting Justice community.
Julio enjoys teaching people ways to better their gardening techniques or simply learn to use plants as medicine. This has made Julio realize that change is possible and just like plants it takes time to grow.
I have seen myself in the best, best headspace in my life. I’m not drinking no more. I’m eating healthier. It took me to come here, to be here, to really learn to love myself again.
Otis Spikes, Nursery Manager Planting Justice since 2016
