Last week at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, attendees joined Chef Fátima Juárez of Komal for a hands-on experience exploring the cultural significance of native Mexican corn.

Together, we learned about the nixtamalization process, discovered the diversity of corn varieties, and prepared handmade tortillas on the comal.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an afternoon filled with learning, tradition, and community!

Roll up sleeves, grab a hat, and let’s get to work in the Milpa! 🌱🌽🫘

The milpa teaches us that all good things in life require proper maintenance. The seeds we planted in the Spring are well on their way and growing exponentially every day.

In this class, we'll learn how to properly maintain all types of plants within our garden. Some topics we will cover include utilizing vertical space, pruning, integrative pest management, water-wise irrigation, fertilization, proper weeding, and the benefits of mulching.

Special guest, Marlene Aguilar of Irekuarhikua.
