Immigrant Stories: Andrea Santos
Description
Originally from the Dominican Republic, Andrea Santos is a passionate teacher, gardener, wife, and mother of five. She and her husband, also from the Dominican Republic, own and operate Sunshine Lavender Farm, a small sustainable farm off North Walnut Street in Waterbury. Every day Andrea chooses to lead with gratitude and find joy in the simple things, especially gardening, which never fails to bring a smile to her face and remind her of growth and hope.
Whether in the classroom or tending vibrant rows of lavender, Andrea’s mission is the same: to cultivate learning, love, and lasting connections that bloom far beyond the season.
