Gardopia Gardens welcomes Alex Aleman, Educator at Luther Burbank High School in San Antonio, Texas.

Gardopia Gardens hosts, COO, Dominic Dominguez, and Board Member, Defranco Sarabia hear the incredible story of Alex Aleman and his efforts of empowering youth using hydroponics.

The implications of Covid-19 and Winter Storm Uri urged Alex to research and build his very first hydroponic grow space. This was just the beginning, as Alex's calling progressed him to start a hydroponics system at Burbank High School.

Amid times of food insecurity and differentiated online/in-person learning in the school systems, Alex's story is that of resiliency, growth, opportunity, and innovation for him and his students.
