My name is Juan Lopez. I was born in San Jose, California and I've been living there since then.

       I haven't done a lot of gardening, but i have grown a few plants successfully. My family does not grow plants anymore since we don't have much gardening space.  Once, i grew some carrots and after science camp, i was given a tree that i could take care of. My mom cooks all the time since my dad is not around. I enjoy watching people cook especially my mom since she could make a meal with a few simple ingredients.  Sadly, the tree that i was taking care of caught a disease and died in the beginning of 2015. It  was a bit sad knowing that i couldn't do anything since i didn't have much experience in gardening. I'm hoping that in this project, i can learn how to take better care of plants.
