In the flower beds near the parking lot, Director of Facilities Mr. Figueroa has cultivated new life with his world renowned green thumb. In the flower boxes, which once were largely barren, new life has appeared, in the form of numerous blossoms and butterflies. Mr. Figueroa has previously taught a gardening elective at Latin, and helped build the tremendous garden at the school’s front, which includes multiple edible plants like basil. He also cultivates hydroponic tower gardens that grow greens in the school and maintains Latin’s bee hive, helping gather our school’s own collection of honey.
