Quinta Mazatlán Welcomes Sentli Center for Regenerative Agriculture Thursday, November 7, 6 to 7 p.m., to host a Vegetable Container Garden Workshop, led by Shakera Raygoza. Participants will receive seeds to plant to start seasonal vegetables, a recipe for the growing mix and information on different soil mixes, as well as advanced knowledge on the benefits of various containers and growing tips.
Sentli Center is a non-profit organization which aims to improve the quality of life of the RGV community by reconnecting people to the land and local food system. The center strives to increase the accessibility and affordability of nutrient-dense, sustainably grown food for communities in the Rio Grande Valley through education, food justice, conservation, sustainability and research.
Shakera has been farming in the RGV organically for a decade, offering nutrient dense harvests through farmers market, CSA boxes, and on site harvesting to the community.
Trained professionally as a nurse and a mother of three, she prioritizes health, from one’s physical body to our community’s and started to cultivate the root of it all: food.
