Board of Directors
Statement
On behalf of our Board of Directors, we extend our gratitude to the Greater
Bexar County Area, the City of San Antonio, our neighboring Eastside
community, and every volunteer and supporter invested in Gardopia Gardens.
With your continued and unwavering support, our mission of growing healthy
communities through garden-based learning is flourishing.

Gardopia Gardens' proudly presents our Annual Impact Report for 2021-2022,
highlighting our new and continued projects, partnerships, and progress
made throughout the past year. As our city evolves, so do our efforts to meet
the needs of our community. We remain steadfast in our mission; we
recognize that the connections and relationships made will allow us to
effectively work to build a sustainable society, empowered and educated to
lead healthy lifestyles through gardening.

As we continue with Covid-19 recovery, we are collectively challenged to learn

how to implement resiliency regarding issues like this in the future, such as
disturbance to the supply chain for daily goods. With the rising cost of
produce, dairy, meat products, and eggs, it is essential to teach our children
and community to become more self-sufficient through garden-based
learning solutions that are practical and effective.

This year, Gardopia Gardens continues to advance these efforts, building on

the foundations made at sites like Democracy Prep at the Stewart Campus,
Blessed Sacrament Academy, Young Women’s Leadership Academy Primary,
and many other learning institutions we’ve had the privilege of serving. We
are blessed to expand our partnerships with local businesses and
organizations, such as the City of San Antonio, San Antonio Independent
School District, University Health, and many other organizations working in
conjunction to envision a healthier environment.

The following report is a culmination of the efforts of the Gardopia Gardens

Staff, Board of Directors, and Partnerships made and cultivated to make San
Antonio a more healthy and community-focused city.

In the Fall of 2021, the City of San Antonio's Office of
Innovation made an impactful investment to support a
SMART Irrigation System and Greenhouse for the
students, families, and community members of Young
Women's Leadership Academy Primary.

Using technology to create real-world solutions is at

the forefront of the Office of Innovation. Their
contribution continues to uplift the Young Women's
Leadership Academy Primary to grow over 1000+
pounds of organic produce annually using sensors
that respond to moisture, rainfall, seasonal shift,
sunlight, wind, and weather.

As student, Mia Aceves, said, "you just have to press

two buttons, and boom, you can water!" "When you're
away on vacation or something, you can just easily
water your plants with your IPad.", mentioned Zoe
Collin, a student at Young Women's Leadership
Academy Primary.

The Garden Shop
The financial well-being of Gardopia
Gardens is a high priority, and as
such, the agency takes ample strides
in diversifying its revenue streams
apart from grants and donations.
In the fall of 2021, the nonprofit was
gifted a stable wooden frame by the
Howard Family. Through support
from the Cook Family Foundation,
volunteers were able to relocate the
15x15 frame to Gardopia Gardens and
begin construction on the Garden
Shop.
With the additional support from San
Antonio for Growth on the Eastside,
the organization began insulating,
covering, and constructing the
interior and exterior of the Garden
Shop, allowing for ADA accessibility
and building a brand new stage.
This Garden Shop is now a retail
location for the nonprofit to sell
plants, fertilizers, books, garden
apparel, worms, irrigation equipment,
and more!
The Garden Shop enhances the ability
of the organization to meet the need
of Near-Eastside inner-city nursery!
16
 Growing Asset Capacity
As the organization grows to manage
over 25 sites in the 2022 - 2023 fiscal
year, securing assets such as a truck
and a trailer are essential to reduce
the bottom line for schools and
community entities by maximizing
staff efficiency/project
implementation.
Transportation and tools are critical
parts of our operations and
contribute to the enhancement of
overall programming. These assets
serve as non-recurring costs with a
high return-on-investment for
Gardopia Gardens and the
community at-large.
Through the generous support from
our private donors and our annual
GoFundMe Champaign, in the 2021 -
2022 fiscal year, Gardopia Gardens
purchased its first truck and trailer,
allowing us to expand our services
such as soil, plants, and garden
deliveries.
These capacity-building
enhancements provide the safe
utility and transportation of tools,
materials, and staff, as the
organization continues to expand
operations to new locations within
the Greater Bexar County Area and
beyond.

San Anto
Cultral
Arts
Garden
Mural
Gardopia Gardens is proud to celebrate our
partnership with San Anto Cultural Arts through the
addition of a community mural! This mural was born
and brought to life in the beautiful gardens of
Gardopia, located at 619 N New Braunfels on San
Antonio's Eastside.

With the help of community input and painting, San

Anto Cultural Artist, Nomas, used his skills to
transform what was a dream into a reality.

See this mural in-person by driving by the gardens,

stopping for a visit, volunteering, or attending one of
the Gardopia Gardens' upcoming events.
COMPASSION TREE
PROJECT
As Gardopia Gardens continues its partnerships to address environmental degradation
and locally sourced/accessible nutritious foods, the organization joined the Core Team
of the City of San Antonio Parks & Recreation Department's Compassion Tree Project
SA. We are proud to have adopted-out/planted 211 trees in 2021 - 2022! (See the map
above for the locations)

The Compassion Tree Project starts at a local level as a symbolic representation of the
commitment and responsibility to re-green the world. It then expands beyond its own
location and moves to support already-existing re-greening efforts locally and around
the world. The Compassion Tree Project joins us in a single global effort, connecting us
all in our common humanity. It mobilizes us to take action to do something about
devastated lands and the climate crisis. We will be planting more than bio-diversity –
we will also be planting compassion, peacemaking, and economic freedom, thereby
restoring our planet’s ecological balance.
Sustainability in Urban
Agriculture
Scientists postulate that by 2050, the
world population will reach 10 billion
people, yielding a higher demand for
earth's precious and finite natural
resources. Creating a paradigm shift to
meet this need for nutritious and ample
food stabilization might further
environmental degradation if not aligned
with sustainable agriculture practices. An
alarming 19% of all greenhouse gasses
(9.88 billion tons of 52 billion tons globally
produced) are contributed by the
agricultural and forest industries,
according to Breakthrough Energy.
Gardopia Gardens realizes and acts
against the growing effects of climate
change by using education as an equity
tool to enable great change on the city
and regional levels.
These practices include empowering our
communities with the knowledge base to
implement more sustainable methods in
Urban Agriculture such as SMART
irrigation installations, mitigation of waste
through compost creation, rainwater
harvesting, aqua/hydroponics utility,
organic fertilizing methods, local/seasonal
variety selections, tree care, and many
other essential components.
City of San Antonio Climate
Action and Adaptation Plan
Gardopia Gardens is a proud partner with
the City of San Antonio's Climate Action
and Adaptation Plan, which was created
to address the present and future
impacts of climate change.
This comprehensive plan is the result of a
total community engagement effort,
moreover, it provides pathways for the
following:
Strategies for ensuring economic
prosperity and quality of life.
Prioritization of clean air, public
health, water quality and
conservation, good jobs,
transportation choices, clean and
secure energy, and emergency
preparedness.
Supporting market transitions and
consumer options, while preparing
businesses, residents, and institutions
for an unpredictable climate.
Affirming equity and affordability in
all strategies to ensure that a Climate
Ready San Antonio benefits all
residents.

Garden-Based
Learning at
Democracy Prep at
the Stewart Campus
We’re incredibly excited to begin our partnership
with Democracy Prep at the Stewart Campus, San
Antonio Independent School District, and
Democracy Prep Public Schools to implement a
brand new garden-based learning program!

The program works alongside the students to

provide hands-on learning in irrigation, raised bed
preparation, composting, mulching, tree care, and
even pollinator gardens!

We love working with the students and staff,

uplifting the beauty, education, and environmental
care of the campus.

Our young people are taking wide steps forward in

leading healthy lifestyles through garden-based
learning in their communities!
Food System
Advocation
It's through collaboration and
awareness that we are all able to
advance the conversation of a
healthy food system for individuals
and families in the City of San
Antonio and the Greater Bexar
County Area.
Ensuring equitable recovery post-
COVID-19 and Winter Storm Uri in a
manner that promotes sustainability
and resiliency in the midst of acute
shocks and chronic stressors is the
obligation of all people when
planning for a more vibrant future.
Gardopia Gardens' plays a vital role
in the mechanism that is the food
system.
It's our mission to share best
practices and education with
individuals to enable them to know
the how-tos of organic gardening in
urban agriculture.
We are positioned best to serve the
community through the education of
individuals to lead healthier lifestyles
through garden-based learning. This
includes servicing over 25+
educational sites, holding community
learning opportunities, and
advocating for a healthier community
environment.
It's here that we strive each day to
inspire positive changes in the health
behaviors, skills, circumstances, and
knowledge of all ages.
 Food System Social at
Pharm Table
The Food System Social at Pharm
Table was an incredible experience!
This Food System Social is part of the
Annual Gardopia Gardens Food and
Nature Education Conference, aimed
at raising awareness about our
innate connection to what we eat
and where it’s sourced from.
The event encouraged engagement
from a network of stakeholders. From
producers, chefs, educators,
advocates, NGOs, and more, the
panel offered their insights into the
opportunities and challenges the
food system is facing in its need to
sustain a growing population amid
COVID-19 recovery and
environmental stressors.
Engaging in dialogue in the food
systems addresses multiple aspects
of equity regarding land usage,
workers' rights. ethical treatment of
livestock, transportation practices,
CO2 production, accessibility, policy,
conservation, and more.
These conversations allow individuals
to think bigger and reflect on the
interconnection of various aspects of
the food system to create a holistic
perspective that can raise awareness
of healthy norms in the community
and culture.
25
Gardopia Gardens is excited to begin our Garden-
based Learning partnership with Blessed Sacrament
Academy, engaging learners as little as 1-years old!

Every week, these scholars are provided hands-on

project opportunities and educational classes to
help plant, water, and experience the living
laboratory. Both guardian and child are engaged in
the garden, expanding the love of gardening at a
young age and harvesting fresh organic fruits and
vegetables for their at-home cuisine!

Blessed Sacrament Academy is home to amazing

programs and people who are committed to the
development of children and families through
hands-on, authentic experiences in a nurturing and
safe atmosphere that will build individuals who
come to recognize their worth and help them grow
in self-love and self-belief.
