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 20212022 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 postCOVID-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.

Gardopia Gardens is excited to begin our Gardenbased 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.
