Santiago turned a vacant lot across the street from his home into a garden 24 years ago. He wanted to provide fresh produce to his neighbors.
Due to his age and physical ability, Santiago needed a bit of help to keep the garden growing.
A local ministry called "Community Brings Learning" has adopted the garden. They are giving it the subtitle, "Dream Big Garden".
Their plans are to keep engaging more community members, especially the youth, to keep Mr. Tony's garden and legacy ongoing.
Watch the video above to see the full story.
