Henry “Kiki” Saavedra
Community Center
Bernalillo County Parks and Recreation

When I got here in May 2024 Henry “Kiki” Saavedra Community Center’s Nature Explore Classroom was a bit neglected and in need of some love. We have since cleaned it up, weeded and added fruit trees donated to us from TreeNM.

During the summer break the children planted cucumbers, peppers, pumpkin, squash and strawberries donated by Alameda Greenhouse and Lantern Ridge Farm Market and Nursery. I look forward to more partnerships and growing HKSCC Nature Explore Classroom.
