Felicita Gómez, 53, stands near her plants outside her Gulfton apartment on Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022 in Houston. Gómez has peppers, a banana tree and a variety of roses.When Felicita Gómez moved into her ground-floor Gulfton apartment complex six months ago, she specifically chose a place that would allow her to bring her porch plants with her from her previous apartment.In her coastal city in El Salvador, Gómez said, her mother would grow lime and guava trees.
Felicita Gomez, 53, touches the leaves of one of her pepper plants outside her Gulfton apartment on Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022 in Houston.She points to a nearby flower called “flor de izote” that isn’t part of her garden with roses and gardenias and chiles, but is part of the apartment complex's common green area. It’s a white flower common in El Salvador.“It’s it’s tasty little snack for us, Salvadorans,” she said, hoping that she’ll be able to cook some up when it’s ready.
Guerrero, who grew up on a ranch in rural Mexico, said she treats her plants like children and grandchildren. And like children, she doesn’t have a favorite. Taking care of plants is something Guerrero picked up from her mother and grandmother, back in Mexico who would tell her to gather fresh herbs, like mint or yerbabuena, from their garden to make tea.
