Mark Anthony Medeiros was looking for a little patch of earth to grow a few vegetables to freshen up his college-student diet.
When he couldn't snag a plot in a local community garden, Madeiros put up some fliers in the Naglee Park neighborhood just east of San Jose State University, offering to create and tend gardens for homeowners in return for a share of the bounty.
The response was so enthusiastic — he heard from more than a dozen people offering space on their properties — that he recruited other San Jose State students to join the "Veggielution Urban Farming Project." Within a year, the volunteer group had four gardens in production.
