Mercedes Navarro



Mercedes Navarro has owned the Ladera Garden and Gift Shop for the past 35 years. When she was a  young adult, she immigrated to California from Mexico. Now, her favorite things are spending time with her grand children, working with the community at the garden shop and relaxing with her husband. When I asked if I could photograph Mercedes while worked in the Garden, she replied modestly, "Oh, wow! Take the photo from far away!"

Here is the link to my photo essay.
