Lxs Campesinx Program at Las Parcelas (NSNP)

For community members looking to grow their own produce or improve their gardening skills, get involved by renting a garden plot in the Las Parcelas garden as a Campesinx.  Our Campesinxs are important ambassadors of and for a community that celebrates Puerto Rican, Afro-Caribbean, and broader Latinx cultures.
