Reviews
"Small and a little rumpled but in a very inviting way, Mission Garden is a living agricultural museum. The concept is fascinating. How did people survive in this climate? How did they grow their food, and what did they grow? There are themed walks and tours and classes, if you time your visit right. And you can support the project by plunking some cash in the donation box, or picking up some things in the small gift shop. There you find a smartly curated collection of things—books and seeds, produce and preserves made with items from the garden, and even native beans and wheat berries from the oldest variety in North America, which was all but obliterated in the 1940s. It’s located at the base of Sentinel Peak (also called A” Mountain) and at the historic epicenter of what became Tucson. And really, it’s fascinating and inspiring to see so many foods growing in a place that seems otherwise inhospitable. Definitely worth a visit."
"This is the place to see a volunteer operation in progress. The garden features several small plots of plants from edible greens to native and Chinese. There’s also a small gift shop to show your support."
"Small garden, but big enough to enjoy better than your own backyard. Couple gardens that planted specific vegetables from different countries. Was there during Chinese lunar new year. Good interaction place to learn about vegetation. Please donate."
"We visited for the Garlic Festival. Very crowded and hot but those working the booths were very nice and willing to educate visitors. We plan to return, but maybe not for an event. A lovely spot."
