Recipient of the Elizabeth Abernathy Hull Award, 2017

Cesar Zuniga has developed school community gardens in Redwood City and Atherton since 2000. He most recently developed The Selby Lane School Garden serving as its coordinator. With 85 percent of his students at or below the poverty line, he believes that planting, caring for, and harvesting healthy fruits and vegetables will help these children develop a special relationship with the earth, and have a new appreciation for what it provides.
