“Even before I retired, I’ve been very active in gardening in our school. When I was a child, I was trained to plant vegetables and plants in our backyard,” she said.
A resident of St. Vincent Heights Subdivision, Barangay Alfonso Angliongto, Posadas has her own 50-square-meter urban garden in her backyard.
She grows eggplants, tomatoes, celery, kale, eucalyptus, and peppermint, among others. She is currently making her small fish pond and plans to put catfish and red tilapia in it.
She shared the vegetables that she is growing are consumed by their family daily.
“I don’t usually have a big income from my vegetables because we consume it but for seedlings, I earned an average of P3,000 per month, enough money to augment my monthly pension,” she said.
Her usual customers are her neighbors and parents from the school. Her house is located just behind a school.
