Flowers & Bullets was born from a shared belief: that healing, resistance, and cultural survival are all part of the same story.
What started as a grassroots effort to reclaim space in our barrio has grown into a community-driven movement grounded in sustainability, self-determination, and creativity. We began with murals, compost, and a dream—building from what we had, block by block.
On a small corner of land, we began transforming a neglected space into Midtown Farm—a place for food justice, composting, and cultural memory.
We introduced youth programs, held community workdays, and launched the Tlazoteotl Compost Project, collecting food waste from Barrio Centro and Julia Keen neighborhoods to create soil for our gardens—and purpose for our people.
