Sol Mercado Feliciano

Sol has been with PJ’s Nursery Land team since December 2020, and recently became our Reentry Coordinator! She found Planting Justice through a garden program inside prison while serving a 16-year sentence. Sol’s favorite part of working at PJ is, how it teaches her how to connect with nature and how to get back to the community.

She grew up with a family background in agriculture so she has always had a connection to the land. It has been a very positive experience working at planting Justice, because it helps her cope with stress and it helps her relax. She likes to spend time with her baby, the outdoors and on the water, when she is not at work.
