"We have over 140 plots, probably six nationalities out here. Everything is growing out here," said garden coordinator Everett Leon-Guerrero, who helps oversee the roughly 1.5-acre site with volunteers, including longtime gardener Benny Villarreal.
"We are a nonprofit. The church is kind enough to give this land to them. They pay $50 a year, which is a screaming deal. And we're always looking for donations," Leon-Guerrero said.
"We do everything we can, from pumpkins, corn, you name it," Villarreal said. "Even if we don't care for something, we'll grow it anyway, because there's always somebody else [asking], 'Do you have this?'"
"We don't get paid for this. God pays us, and it's a labor of love," he said.
